NUMBER 20

In Run-Off For
Council Post

Total Vote in Second Election
Is Higher than vote for Three
Candidates on September 16

In the run-off election held Mon¬
day Mr. Eddie Watson was winner
for Place No. 3 on the Montevallo
Town Council. He defeated S. M.
Mahan, present member of the
Council by a margin of 54 votes.
The official result of the ballot was:

Watson _141

Mahan ___87

The total vote of 228 in Mon¬
day’s run-off was 49 more than the
total vote of 179 for the three can¬
didates in the first election.

Mahan received 78 in the first
election, increasing his number
only 9 votes in the run-off. Wat¬
son’s vote in the first election was
60 and he more than doubled that
number in the run-off, receiving
a total of 141.

The retiring Councilman, Mr.
Mahan, has .been a member of the
Town’s official body for the past
six years. Mr. Watson is not alto¬
gether a new man in the Town’s
public official capacity. He served
as member of the Council for a
period of time some years past, we
do not know exactly how long.

The result of the run-off Monday
determines finally and completely
the official family of Montevallo
for the next four yehrs, as follows:

Mayor, P. P. Givhan; Council
members, J. A. Brown, Dr. Hallie
Parmer, T. E. Watson, C. G. Sharp,

Library Board Holds
First Meeting

The first meeting of the Shelby
bounty Library Board was held
September 28 in the office of the
Board of Revenue at the court
house in Columbiana. The board
consists of the following members:
Mrs. Homer Walton, Mr. W. L.
Brown, Mr. L. H. Ellis, Mrs. Wil¬
liam E. Eversole, Mr. J. L. Apple-
ton, Mrs. J. T. Phillips, Mrs. Mor¬

ind efforts are being made to es-
iure a desk and reading table and
chairs.

Miss Winnie Mae Toomer, direc¬
tor of the Shelby County Depart¬
ment of Public Welfare, made a
report on WPA workers who will
oe available for the project. Prom
i talk with Mrs. Virginia Green,
area supervisor of WPA, from Bir¬

Merchants Plan
Trade Celebration

The Montevallo Merchants Asso
ciation held a banquet meeting at
the Baptist Church Tuesday night,
It was attended by about 25 mer¬
chants of the town, and everybody
had a good time. The dinner was
served by a group of ladies of the
Baptist Church.

After an hour of fun during
which the dinner was thorougly en¬
joyed, the group took up considera¬
tion of a plan for community-wide
trade expansion celebration. Mr.
Sonnfield, an expert sales promotion
and advertising man, made a splen¬
did pep talk and then outlined a
plan for the occasion proposed for
Montevallo. It was received with
hearty approval by every member
of the group.

The following committee was ap¬
pointed to work out further details
of the plan with Mr. Sonnfield:
Mrs. R. B. Hicks, chairman; Jas¬
per Holcombe, and Joe Klotzman.

Time for the big celebration week
was tentatively set for the. period
from October 28 to November 2.

of a chapter in the Vincent High
School.

The National Beta Club is a non¬
secret leadership organization for
high school students of America.
Its expressed object is to encourage

dine Roby, Obera Dyer.

National Beta Club is charter¬
ed under the laws of the State of
South Carolina, with headquarters
at Spartanburg. It has been in op¬
eration for six years, and has grown
to the extent that it reaches into
high schools all over the United
States.

Police Chief Clyde M. Gardner is
confined to his home suffering se¬
rious injury from being accident¬
ally shot during a still raid Monday
night.' The shot was from the .38
calibre pistol of a fellow-officer,
| Hardy Edwards, who, with officers
| Gardner, Hugh Shaw, and Donald
Falkner, were chasing three Negroes
who were fleeing from the scene
of operating the still.

Gardner and Edwards were run¬
ning along opposite sides of a ditch.
Edwards, with cocked pistol in his
hand, ran into an old wire fence
and fell down. When he fell his
gun was discharged and the bullet
struck Mr. Gardner, who was about
20 feet from him across the ditch.

The bullet went through Mr.
Gardner’s left leg, about three
inches below the knee, also striking
the right leg and’ deflecting off the
bone.

The still was located just outside
the city limits of Montevallo, in
the wbods back of the college dairy.
It was being operated by three
Negroes.

The officers watched the Negroes
several hours as they prepared for
“making the run.” When they had
gotten the outfit into operation, the
officers closed in on them and they
fled up a ditch. It was in the chase
that Mr. Gardner was accidentally
shot.

All three of the Negroes were
caught and placed under arrest.

Committees Are Appointed To
Work in Various Capacities
Durjng The Coming Year

Chilton County Is
Subject Of Study
By Dr. I. T. Sanders

Alabama College this week is
mailing copies of its most recent
study, “Alabama Rural Communities
—A Study of Chilton County,” by
Dr. Irwin T. Sanders, to all the
state editors, county farm agents,
welfare workers, county superin¬
tendents of education, high school
principals and community leaders
throughout the state.

In his 80-page book Dr. Sanders
gives the results of an intensive
survey which he conducted in Chil¬
ton County with the aid of the Bu¬
reau of Agricultural Economics.
Told in a non-technical way, he
discusses in Part One “How Do You
View the Community?” Part Two
is entitled “The Neighborhoods of
Chilton County,” treating in de¬
tail the communities of Clanton,
Jemison, Thorsby, Verbena, and
Maplesville. Part Three consists of
suggestions by the author for learn¬
ing more about other natural com¬
munities in the state and is entitled
“Why Not Learn More About the
Communities of Your County?”

The study is illustrated with pen-
and ink drawings by Miss Marjorie
Plank, of Gadsden, and by maps
and photographs. The book carries
an introduction by Donald Comer,
chairman for Alabama in the
Southwide Campaign for Balanced
Prosperity, 1940-50; and a foreword
by President A. F. Harman of Ala¬
bama College.

In the publication Dr. Sanders
examines the significance of deter¬
mining the natural communities in
the work of the business man, min¬
ister, farm worker, educator and
editor, explaining how the smaller
neighborhoods which grow up
around a church or school or a
crossroad store and grist mill com¬
bine to make up a larger community
where leadership and social parti¬
cipation are important factors. In
his introduction Mr. Comer says of
this study: “If we are to have
vision, if we are to progress, if we
are to want something better for
tomorrow, it is worthwhile to have
a definite starting time and place,
and in this inventory of Chilton
County we are well on the way.”

A joint meeting of the old and
the new Community Chest Boards
was held at Mr. R. A. Reid’s office
last Thursday night. Dr. T. H.
Napier, president of the Chest As¬
sembly, presided. The purpose of
the meeting was to perfect the or¬
ganization of the new Chest Board
for the coming year.

The following were elected offi¬
cers of the new board:

Dr. A. W. Vaughan, chairman;
R0TS. Denson Elliott, vice-chairman;
Miss Waurene Jones, secretary; R.
P. Holcomb, treasurer. Other mem¬
bers of the board are Miss Myrtle
Brooke, Rev. T. M. Davis, Miss
Edythe Saylor, D. A. Thomas, L. W.
Wooten, W. M. Wyatt.

The following committees were
named to function in the various
capacities of the Chest operation
for the coming year:

Recreation—Rev. T. M. Davis,
chairman; Miss Saylor and Mr.
Thomas.

Welfare—W. M. Wyatt, chairman;
Miss Brooke and Miss Jones.

Publicity — Dr. A. W. Vaughan,
chairman; Mr. Wooten and Mrs.
Elliott.

Campaign committee to carry out
solicitation for subscriptions to
Chest fund—Mr. Wooten, chairman;
Miss Saylor and Mr. Thomas.

The date set for the campaign
for solicitation of subscriptions to
the Chest fund for the coming year
was set for the period from October
10 to 24. Mr. Wooten’s committee
is busy this week setting up the
details of the soliciting campaign.
This will be finally perfected at an¬
other meeting of the Board tonight
(Thursday) and everything will be
in readiness for solicitors to take
the field on the tenth.

Barbecue Is Planned
For Next Meeting
Of American Legion

An event of more than ordinary
interest will be the regular meeting
of Hendrick-Hudson Post of the
American Legion, which comes on
Thursday night, October 17.

At the last meeting Commander
P. T. Martin proffered to the mem¬
bership of the post that he would
furnish the barbecued meat for a
feed at the October meeting if the
other fellows would do their part.
His offer was heartily accepted with
every member pledging himself to
do his part by eating all he pos¬
sibly could.

So it is a go. And the ladies of
the Auxiliary will be guests at this
occasion. It is going to be the fin¬
est affair of this kind that we have
had in many moons.

Every veteran in this section is
urged to make plans now to attend.
And bring the ladies with you, too.

American Legion activity has tak¬
en on new life because of the part
the organization will take in the
present and proposed national de¬
fense program.

When we were in the army in
1917 and 1918 we sang “Keep the
Home Fires Burning” until we re¬
turn. Now we are called upon to
keep the home fires burning while
the younger men do their bit. Every
ex-service man will stand ready to
do his part and that part will be
evidenced through the program and
organization of the Legion.

Get ready now to come to the
meeting October 17. The exact time
and place will be announced next
week.

Mr. Morris Watson of Birming¬
ham spent the week end with his
mother, Mrs. A. H. Watson.

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES, MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA

Montevallo Community Chest
Report For Last Year

To Subscribers of the Community
Chest and Other Citizens of Montevallo

The Chest year just closing has
'been highly gratifying. The Board
again asked its members for a mini¬
mum of $1700. The total subscrip¬
tion was $1771.50. Of this sum all
tout $25 or $30 will toe collected,
which means that the uncollected
amount will toe less than 2y 2 per
cent of the total. The system of
complete records established on the
founding of the Chest has been
continued and the books of the
treasurer will be ready for thor¬
ough auditing some time in Octo¬
ber.

The allocation of funds for 1939-40
was similar to that of the two pre¬
vious years. It seemed best, however,
in order to provide additional funds
for music organisations at the
school to reduce slightly the pro¬
vision for • Scouting. Moreover, be¬
cause the Negro recreation fund
contained an unexpended balance
of $165, the usual appropriation for
this fund was this year added to
the allotment/ for emergency re¬
lief. The budget as adopted was as
follows:

For emergency relief_54%

For local school needs_22%

Music 6%

P. T. A. 10%

Athletics 6%

For Boy Scouts_11%

For Girl Scouts_11%

For operation_ 2%

Total_100%

All the agencies to which appro¬
priations were made have been
active and efficient throughout the
year. They have, moreover, in ac¬
cord with their agreement with the
Chest Board refrained from mak¬
ing any appeal for funds to the
general public.

Athletics

This reducing of general cam¬
paigns for funds is especially sig¬
nificant in respect to high school
athletics. The merchants in most
towns the size of Montevallo are
called upon several times a year for
athletic donations. There has been
no such appeal to the merchants
of Montevallo since the Chest was
organized three years ago. Yet the
high school athletic indebtedness,
which three years ago was embar¬
rassingly large, has now been re¬
duced to about $100, and it is hoped
that it can toe entirely erased within
the coming year. The high school
athletic teams reached directly dur¬
ing the year nearly 100 tooys and in¬
directly contributed largely to the
life of the entire high school.

Music

The high school band and the
elementary school orchestra simi¬
larly served the entire school group
and provided individual training for
nearly 100 boys and girls. The $102
given to these organizations is an¬
nually spent in two ways: Part of
it is used as a kind of revolving
fund with which to purchase instru¬
ments for beginning students who in
most cases are able to buy their
own instruments within a few
months; the rest of it goes for in¬
struments necessary for the band
or orchestra as a whole. There is
always a waiting list of tooys and

girls who are anxious to learn to
play, but for whom there are no
instruments.

Negro Recreation
Most of the funds that remained
in the treasury for the needs of Ne¬
gro recreation was spent during the
year for play ground equipment rec¬
ommended toy the physical educa¬
tion instructors of Alabama College
for use at the new Negro school at
Almont. The Board believes that
very fine work is being done at this
school and that the money contri¬
buted toy the Chest has been used to
unusually good advantage.

P. T. A. Fund

The Parent-Teachers Association
has again spent its appropriation for
permanent recreation equipment
much needed because of the increas¬
ing numbr of children and the lim¬
ited size of the play ground. Of the
$170 total, $103 is toeing used for per¬
manent swings for the younger
children and the remainding $67 for
durable benches similar to those on
the college campus.

Scouting

Most of the money allocated for
Scouting has gone to reduce the in¬
debtedness on the two Scout build¬
ings. At the present rate of reduc¬
tion one of these houses should be
free of all indebtedness within a
year and the other within two years.
Part of this fund will then be avail¬
able for other recreation develop
ment of a permanent nature. Dur¬
ing the three years that the Chest
has contributed to these two Scout
programs they have served a very
high percentage of the boys and
girls living in Montevallo who are
of Scout age. During the past year
the total of tooth tooys and girls
reached in some way was well
over 100. More than 25 men and
women in the community cooperat¬
ed in leading in these two programs.

Welfare Service

A statement of the work done in
emergency relief as prepared by a
member of the Social Service Facul¬
ty of Alabama College follows. This
highly, trained group of welfare
specialists disbursed all of the wel¬
fare funds for the Chest Board.
Every case is investigated before the
money is paid out and a record is
kept of all assistance rendered to
any family.

The total available for the relief
service within the year will be ap¬
proximately $950. As is indicated
in the statement by Miss Allen,
$710.92 of this total had been expen¬
ded prior to August 21 when her
report was prepared.

Report of Miss Elizabeth Allen
The problem of accounting in
dollars and cents for the money en¬
trusted to the Committee on Wel¬
fare Service is a simple one, but the
task of translating cold cash into
terms of the relief of human misery
and anxiety is difficult. Would that
all persons who contributed to the
fund could go with their money in¬
to the fifty or more homes that were
benefitted toy their generosity. In
every Instance the assistance was
only a part in a plan to help the
family meet its prdblems. Some¬

times the request was an isolated
emergency but most often it was
an emergency pending the’develop¬
ment of resources to meet chronic
problems. In each instance the
agency made a sincere effort to
pass on the gift in a spirit of neigh¬
borliness that would stimulate
courage and self-respect.

Of the $710.92 expended, $289.63
went for school lunches, $164.35 for
hospitalization, $153.63 for medicine,
$50.86 for groceries, $42.55 for cloth¬
ing, and $10 for maternal welfare
supplies.

It was felt that the school lunches
meant not just one meal a day for
over fifty children, but their only
meal on many days, and that it
meant the relief of mothers watch¬
ing their children catching school
buses without even a biscuit to wrap
in a newspaper. One of the little
boys on the list was being given a
psychological test at the eleven
o’clock hour. After each test ques¬
tion he would say eagerly, “I wonder
what we will have for lunch.” One
mother of four little girls who were
on the list last year decided that
she could manage this year as she
knew other children were in greater
need. Another mother stated that
during the summer that her obvi¬
ously undernourished children had
been to school all winter without
lunches. One of these children had
a poor attendance record due to
chronic colds.

used as a supplementary aid. Many
families are not eligible for public
assistance and those who are eligi¬
ble often have periods of waiting and
the limited funds of the county
make the allowances pitifully in¬
adequate. It is felt that the Com¬
munity Fund has contributed im¬
measurably to the courage, comfort
and cheer to the unfortunate mem¬
bers of the Montevallo Community.
—Elizabeth Allen.

On the first day of October the
present Board will have completed
its work. The new Board will find
our records complete. It will find,
too, that the community needs
which the Chest was created to
serve are growing more pressing
every year.—Respectfully submitted,
Waurene Jones, Secretary; R. A.
Reid, Chairman.

DENTIST
Mitchell Building
Montevallo, Ala.

Special permission was granted by
the Chest Board to authorize the
hospitilization of a boy of fifteen,
but help came too late as the ap¬
pendix had ruptured and the boy
died after two weeks of heart break¬
ing struggle to touild up resistance
undernourished by malnutrition. He
was a child with an excellent school
record, the oldest of eight children
and the hope of a father fading in
health. The Board also authorized
the diagnostic study of a mother of
six children, haunted by the dread
of a recurrence of cancer.

Through the use of surplus com¬
modities the problem of hunger was
somewhat alleviated so that the
grocery orders were given only in
extreme emergencies. An emaciated
father sat hunched in a rickety wa¬
gon outside the office while his
wife, already gray at thirty, asked
that she may not have to go home
empty handed to hungry children.
She had come only when one of the
children became ill from a diet of
early potatoes and cucumbers. The
father was one of many rejected for
industry and PWA because of health
problems that did not render him
totally handicapped <and eligible for
Aid to Dependent Children. Orange
juice has been provided for babies,
and diets for the sick who have only
corn bread and peas to bring them
through convalescence. Milk was
provided for a baby on the list for
hospitilization through the Cripple
Children’s Service. Although the
child was fourteen monts old, the
mother was afraid to wean him be¬
cause there was no money to buy
milk.

Although the doctors of Monte¬
vallo have continued to give freely
of their services there are no county
funds for medicine. Prescriptions
have been approved for acute and
chronic illnesses — to control the
spells of an epileptic girl, to alleviate
the pain of an arthritic boy, to stim¬
ulate growth in a baby in danger
of becoming a midget, to check
pneumonia and to fight pellagra.
Over thirty patients were enabled to
follow the advice of their doctors.

Clothing was furnished only for
school children. The needs of the
girls were largely met through old
clothing that mothers could make
over. But shoes, sweaters and over¬
alls were often an extreme emer¬
gency and enabled children to re¬
main in school.

Nothing could be more construc¬
tive than the contribution to the
Maternal Welfare Clinic. Mothers
who came for help were without ex¬
ception in poor health with hus¬
bands who were handicapped or un¬
employed. One mother at nineteen
had three children under four years,
two others had four pre-school
children, and two others had eight
living children.

Curtis String Quartet Is First Number
On Concert and Lecture Series

The appearance of the famed
Curtis String Quartet in Palmer
Auditorium at Alabama College on
October 11 will afford Alabama
music lovers an opportunity to hear
an American ensemble whose suc¬
cess has played no small part in
the institution of a new vogue for
chamber music.

Organized in Philadelphia in 1929,
when the four artists were grad¬
uated from the famed Curtis In¬
stitute of Music, the ensemble, now
the official quartet of the institute,
has recently rounded off ten years
of touring, including visits to more
than 200 American cities and to
the foremost music capitals of
Europe. In 1936, the Curtis String
Quartet was chosen by the English
Speaking Union to represent the
United States musically at the Sil¬
ver Jubilee of King George V of
England.

Last season the Curtis Quartet'
made musical news with one of the

rare performances of the entire
cycle of Beethoven quartets, in five
programs under the auspices of
Newark’s Griffith Foundation.

With the exception of Jascha
Brodsky, the first violinist, all of
the members of the Curtis String
Quartet are American born and
each is a distinguished virtuoso in
his own right. Both violinists were
noted child prodigies, Brodsky hav¬
ing studied and concertized under
the great Eugene Ysays in Belgium,
and Charles Jaffe, the second vio¬
linist, having made a sensational
debut at five and a half as soloist
with the Woman’s Symphony Or¬
chestra in Philadelphia.

The quartet performs on one of
the finest collections of rare old
Cremona Instruments in existence,
a fortune in fiddles provided for
the artists by their patroness, Mrs.
Mary Louise Curtis Bok, widow of
Edward Bok and daughter of the
late Cyrus Curtis of publishing
fame.

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES, MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA

GOOD ADVICE!

AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK ON

THE STATE COMMITTEE

Scouting In Black Warrior Council

An intensive campaign to extend the benefits of Scouting to more boys
in this area has been adopted by the Black Warrior Council, Boy Scouts
of America, with the objective of enrolling at least three thousand boys in
this program.

The Black Warrior Council Area includes 14 counties in this section
of Alabama. Actual surveys conducted through the school system by
Council officials show that 17,000 boys in this area wish to be Scouts. At
the present time only a small percentage of this number have actually
been enrolled in the program; due to lack of sufficient leadership and
financial support.

The new intensive campaign for extension of the program is part of a
national program of action sponsored by the National Council, Boy Scouts
of America, in cooperation with 16 other agencies, including churches,
educational groups, veteran organizations, fraternal orders, and other
agencies interested in character building and the teaching of Ameri¬
canism.

In the Black Warrior Council Area only one boy out of every seven
receives the benefits of Scout membership. The new program of action
will focus attention not only on increasing the strength of existing troops,
but also on the organization of new troops in communities not now being
served in the effective training of leadership and the planning of many
activities designed to continue a boy’s interest in Scouting over a longer

period. i

An initial step in the new campaign is an effort to secure adequate fi¬
nancial resources through a drive to be carried on throughout the 14
county council areas on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, October 14,
15, and 16. This drive will be headed by Marc Ray Clement of Tusca¬
loosa, chairman of the council’s finance committee.

The finance chairman for the Shelby District is Dr. M. L. Orr. Our
district committee chairman is J. L. Appleton, and our district commis¬
sioner is Hoyq Splawn. These men are at present engaged in the organi¬
zation of a campaign for this district. Chester Walker, probate judge of
Tuscaloosa County, is president of the Black Warrior Council, and Dr.
H. G. Dowling, superintendent of Tuscaloosa graded schools, is the coun¬
cil commissioner. These men, along with Mr. Clement, are most active
in giving leadership to the Scout program and plans.for the finance
campaign throughout the 14-county area. They have extended a call
to all good citizens In this area to respond promptly and generously on
the campaign dates, October 14, 16, and 16, in order that a sum may be
raised which will assure the success of the new program to extend
Scouting to more boys.

Two Successors for Bankhead

The Democratic Executive Committee has named two successors for
Speaker Bankhead to represent the Seventh District in Congress. In one
sense, at least, that action is fitting, for Mr. Bankhead was such a pow¬
erful representative it will take the combined efforts of two and perhaps
more men to approximate his worth in the national Congress.

Furthermore, we are left somewhat in the fog by action of the com¬
mittee. Some commentators condemn it. Others approve. We are confused.
But the Alabama Journal assures us that the action precludes any pos¬
sibility of handpicking and guarantees the people of the Seventh District
a free and democratic choice of a successor to Mr. Bankhead.

Montevallo Community Chest

In this paper vou will find the annual report of the operations of the
Montevallo Community Chest for the past year.

Alf-in-all, it is a most gratifying story of how the people of Monte¬
vallo have again done a most worthy piece of civic and humanitarian
endeavor. The Chest last year asked for $1700 to complete its budget.
Total subscriptions made was $1771, Total paid by subscribers was a bit
over the amount requested in the budget

At this time the work of setting up the Chest program for another
vear is being done. The manner in which the people of the community
have supported the Chest gives the Chest officials full courage to pro¬
ceed with their plans. Moreover, the manner in which the Chest has
functioned, as shown by the report, gives the people of the community
full confidence in the efficiency, fairness and completeness of the Chest

0I When the call comes next week for new pledges to the Chest, there is
every indication that the people of Montevallo will respond one hundred
per cent to provide the necessary financial means to carry out the Chest

Pr rf has been^state^before that our Community Chest is among the best
thines ever done by our people. The truth of this statement is made
more and more obvious by the continued and increasing favorable atti¬
tude of our people toward the Chest from year to year.

The Birmingham News, in an
editorial captioned “A Nonsensical
Procedure,” launched an unwar¬
ranted attack upon the State Dem¬
ocratic Executive Committee yes¬
terday, after that committee had
nominated Dr. Z. L. Weatherford
of Red Bay and Walter Will Bank-
head of Jasper as joint successors
to William B. Bankhead as repre¬
sentative from the Seventh District.

The News went far afield by re¬
marking, “The State Democratic
Executive Committee has seldom
distinguished itself for sound judg¬
ment or forthright action. Over a
period of many years, the State
Committee only a few times has
taken an action that the public
could applaud as something wise or
fine or courageous. On most ques¬
tions coming before it down through
the years its members have pre¬
ferred to play politics with an eye
toward factional or personal ad¬
vantage,” The News continues.

"This has been the case too of¬
ten, regardless of the committee’s
personnel at the time. Its member¬
ship has changed some from term
to term, but its penchant for poli¬
tical manipulation goes on forever.
To say this is not simply to express
an individual opinion. It is enough
to point to the rather high rate of
political mortality among members
to indicate that their services have
not been altogether satisfactory to
the Democracy of Alabama,” the
paper asserts.

The News goes on to assail the
action taken on the Bankhead va¬
cancy, and it repeats for a third
time within four days its contention
that Mrs. Florence Bankhead, the
Speaker’s widow, should have been
nominated. This claim is set forth
despite the fact that Mrs. Bank-
head twice directly told the com¬
mittee that she did not wish any
such nomination.

It is strange indeed that The
News would insist upon such a
procedure. It would be a strange
committee that would force the
widow of the Speaker into such a
position of public prominence with¬
in less than a week after her hus¬
band’s funeral.

The News demanded an impos¬
sible procedure. Piqued by the com¬
mittee’s refusal to force an unwant¬
ed office upon Mrs. Bankhead, the
Birmingham paper uses that inci¬
dent as a springboard for an “all
out” attack upon the committee.
Unless The News can give a far
better documented case for its dia¬
tribe, it certainly will not hold
water.

In the first place, the Birming-
hamers have no vote nor voice in
the politics of the Seventh Dis¬
trict. It occurs to us that the State
Committee was wise indeed to let
the committeemen of the Seventh
District recommend what steps
should be taken to fill the vacancy.
Any other position would have per¬
mitted State Committee dictator¬
ship in what was certainly a local
district matter.

To say that the State Committee
‘has seldom distinguished itself for
sound judgment or forthright ac¬
tion,” is a general charge which
certainly should not be made with¬
out some facts included. To allege
a “high rate of political mortality
among members” is another state¬
ment which should be made only
with the records at hand.

We do not have all the records
at our fingertips, but we do know
that few committee members have
been defeated at the polls in the
Sixth Congressional District dur¬
ing recent years. Any “mortality”
has been largely accounted for by
the fact that members have either
resigned or have voluntarily fore¬
gone any candidacy to succeed
themselves. It is true that this dis¬
trict did not have many of the
“handpickers” who were the chief
casualties in 1938.

Chairman Gessner McCorvey and
his State Committee have a hard
task before them in guiding De¬
mocracy of Alabama at this writ¬
ing. It is certainly made no easier
when the biggest newspaper in the

“Long after maneuvers and bland¬
ishments in connection with the
naming of a successor in Congress
to Will Bankhead are forgotten, the
dignity, good sense and grace of
Florence Bankhead will be remem¬
bered. She has added distinction to
a distinguished name by -refusing
appointment to her husband’s place
and basing that refusal on the very
highest grounds. Little as she knows
it she has won new friends for the
Bankheads, too, with her good taste.
Here’s hoping that she has done
much to stop for all time the prac¬
tice of appointing wives of deceased
statesmen to vacant places as a
means of keeping somebody else
out of avoiding a political show¬
down. Mrs. Bankhead has honored
her husband’s name far more than
it would have been honored in her
appointment to Congress.

“Opponents of ‘hand-picking’ will
be glad that an especially obnoxious
example of it was avoided in the
decision to make only temporary
nominations for the succession to
Mr. Bankhead and to provide for

JOY HOLCOMB IS HONORED
AT BIRTHDAY PARTY

Mrs. R. P. Holcomb entertained
Saturday afternoon for her little
daughter on her fifth birthday.

Beautiful fall cut flowers were
used in the living and dining rooms
to further carry out the color
scehme of pink and green, along
with the other decorations and
refreshments. The “grown-ups” are
going to have to move along if they
get ahead of the younger generation
in playing hostess. Little Joy, the
honoree, was really a joy to observe
with her happy smile as her little
guests arrived.

Mrs. Zoe Black made pictures of
the children both in the house and
on the lawn. The beautiful white
birthday cake was decorated with

pink candles in pink rosebud hold-
s.

Those included in this delightful
affair were Juanita Holder, Laura
Ann Hicks, Lois Hoffman, Rita
Joyce Day, Marcia Trumbauer, Sue
Henning, Martha Jane Mahaffey,
Eleanor Ann Mitchell, Jane Black,
Donna Klinner, Joanna Sharp, Jane
Gravlee, and the honoree, Joy Hol¬

Black and Mrs. W. J. Mitchell.

COUNTY TEACHERS MEETING

On Wednesday, October 2, at 4:30
pm. in the auditorium of the Col¬
umbiana High School, the Shelby
County Teachers Association, in its
regular monthly meeting, heard
A. C. Dunnaway, superintendent of
education of Coffee ounty, as the
main speaker. Coffee County has
done a fine job in organizing pub¬
lic services agencies and groups in
a program for developing that
county along the lines outlined by
the executive council of the Shelby
County Planning Committee. Mr.
Dunnaway has had a leading part
in this work.

The 'teachers if Shelby County
are seeking ways in which to help
in this movement. The high school
teachers went further into details
of the program in their group meet¬
ing after the general meeting and
discussed ways and means of at¬
taining some of the objectives set by
the planning committee.

New steam generating plant being built at Mobile, Ala., the first 40,000-kilowatt
unit of which it scheduled for completion early in 1941.

WE’RE GOING TO BE PROUD OF IT

W E’RE going to be mighty proud of this new steam generating
plant which, early in 1941, will start turning out Still more
' kilowatt hours for Alabamians to use.

We’ll be proud because—even under tbe adverse conditions which
have existed during the past decade—we have been able to sell elec¬
tricity so cheaply that Alabamians could increase their use of electric
service tremendously.

Proud, too, because the new plant will do its part in supplying
electric service to industries utilized for national defense. . .

Proud, because the industrial development in South Alabam*
helping balance agriculture with industry (in which we were glad to
assist), has developed to the extent where it contributes to the need
for additional power facilities. . .

Proud, because the new plant will have installed in it the latest,
efficient electric generating equipment; and because the building will
be architecturally beautiful—an asset to the appearance of the com¬
munity in which it is located.

When it is completed, we hope it will be possible for you to
visit it.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The congregation of the Presby¬
terian Church will unite with other
congregations the world over in the
celebration of World Communion
Sunday. It is most fitting in this
day when the world is falling apart
in so many respects that we feel
a special relationship and com¬
munion with our Christian brethren
in other parts of the world. The
program of the P. S. A. at 7 o’clock
will be in keeping with this theme.

Sunday School will meet at 10
o’clock.

Now that it has rained, Alabama
farmers are busy planting oats and
winter legumes. County exchanges (
and seed dealers report heavy sales

NUMBER 21

New Council
And Mayor
Are Installed

Dr. Acker’s Administration Is
Commended by Mr. Givhan As
He Takes Over Office of Mayor

The new Council members and
hew Mayor were installed in office
Monday night at the Council meet¬
ing by the retiring Mayor, Dr. Chas.
T. Acker. At the conclusion of the
installation ceremony, the new May¬
or, Mr. F. P. Givhan, paid a fitting
tribute to Dr. Acker and a former
Councilman, Mr. S. M. Mahan, as
follows:

“I have the greatest reluctance
in taking over the job of Mayor fol¬
lowing one who has been so emin¬
ently successful. Dr. Acker has
served the town faithfully and well.
He has shown a love and respect
for the town of Montevallo which
could only be borne in the heart of
one who was born, reared arid has
spent many years in service to the
community. I shall not attempt to
recount the many things which have
been accomplished during his six
years of service on* the Council and
as Mayor. However, it is fitting that
the following outstanding accom¬
plishments should be mentioned.
The Town’s finances have been put
on a firm basis with regular pay¬
ments being made on all outstand¬
ing obligations; a new bridge across
Shoal Creek has been built; modern
fire-fighting equipment installed;
and new pavement laid on many of
our streets. These accomplishments
alone stamp- ‘well done’ on his term
of office.

“Mr. Mahan has been on the
Council during these same six years
when so much has been accom¬
plished. He has contributed his
share to all of that which has been
done.

“For the town and myself, I ex¬
press appreciation for these ser¬
vices.”

Art Department
Buys Hooked Rug For
Alabama Collection

Vocational Advisory Service Conducts
Survey Of High School Students

FSA Loans Are
Available To Farm
Tenants of County

Montevallo has an important ad¬
dition to its collection of work by
Alabama artists and craftsmen. The
art department of Alabama College
this week made public its purchase
of an intricately-designed hooked
rug made by Mrs. W. R. Danley of
Coffee County.

Miss Dawn S. Kennedy, head of
the art department, said in an-
noucing the purchase that Mrs.
Danley’s work shows a sensitivity
to rhythmic arrangement which
makes it an artistic accomplishment
of real importance. The design is
comparable to that found in Orien¬
tal rugs in that the balance comes
from the informal arrangement of
dark and light rather than from an
exact repetition of forms. The rug
was in an exhibition at Alabama
College this summer at the School
of Instruction for Alabama home
economics teachers. In explaining
the method by which it was made,
Mrs. Danley says that the design
“just came to me as I went along.”

MR. LeBARON SPEAKS AT
D. A. R. MEETING

The David Lindsay Chapter, D.
A. R., met October 7 at the Music
Hall. After a brief business session
Mrs. C. G. Sharp, program chair¬
man, introduced Mr. H. D. LeBaron
| as speaker for the evening. Mr. Le¬
Baron discussed “What to Listen for
in Music,” using as illustrative ma¬
terial several Victor records. This
j was the first in a series of programs
r along the line of American music.

Immediately following the pro¬
gram, a social hour was enjoyed at
the home of Mrs. T. H. Napier.
Nineteen members and guests were
included in this courtesy.

We have been notified by James
N. Dennis, county rural rehabilita¬
tion supervisor, Farm Security Ad¬
ministration, that his office is now
accepting applications to buy farms
under the Bankhead-Jones Farm
Tenant Act.

It is very important that all ten¬
ants, sharecroppers, and farm lab¬
orers who are interested in being
considered for one of these loans
should file application in the near
future. Forms and applications may
be secured at the Farm Security
Administration office on the sec¬
ond floor of the old court house at
Columbiana.

Seven loans were approved in
Shelby County for the fiscal year
1939-40 for approximately $21,000.
This amount includes the option
price and necessary repairs and im¬
provements. An appropriation has
already been made for buying more
farms this year (July 1, 1940, to

June 30, 1941).

Each application received is giv¬
en careful consideration by a com¬
mittee of three Shelby County
farmers who were themselves ten¬
ant farmers. The loans made under
this program are made over a 40-
year period at 3 per cent interest,
says Supervisor Dennis.

No land is approved for purchase,
he said, where' the probable income
as determined by the farm and
home plans, -carefully worked out
with each farmer, does not provide
a sufficient margin, good living and
loan repayment requirements to
justify an adequate dwelling and
other buildings. In most cases, he
pointed out, the annual repayments,
including interest and insurance,
are less than usual rentals for
farms with good land and good
buildings. All service of the rural
rehafoalitation program of the Farm
Security Administration are avail¬
able to tenant purchase farmers,
who, through ownership are enabled
to plan operations on a long-range
basis.

The Vocational Advisory Service
at Alabama College set out this
week to discover what part of his
high school expedience a high
school student values' most five
years after leavings school.

This will take th® form of a fol¬
low-up study of siiu&_nts who have
left six typical Alabama high
schools. On October 1 a thousand
former high school students were
sent a letter from their principals
asking them to fill out a schedule
prepared by the Vocational Ad¬
visory Service, telling what then-
present job is, if they are working,
how they got it, and what part of
their high school experience has
proved to be of greatest value to
them. They were told that this in¬
formation will help build up data
for guidance of future students. The
former students being questioned
included both boys and girls, and
both graduates and those who had
dropped out of senior high school
without graduating.

The schools included in the study
are: Lanett High School, represent¬
ing a textile industry town; Mon¬
tevallo High School, located in a
college town, and including a min¬
ing district; Greensboro High
School, reflecting -‘Black Belt” con¬
ditions; Holtville High School and
Coffeeville High School, two rural
schools of different types; and
Woodlawn High School in Birming¬
ham, which is typical of a large
city school. ’

This project will be continued
for the next five years, each year
adding a new group, but continuing
to trace the history and adjustments
to adult life of all those first con¬
tacted in previous years. The data
obtained each year will be immed¬
iately studied, and results made
available to the schools involved,
and to all others interested, through
the Vocational Advisory Service of
Alabama College, directed by Miss
Rochelle Rodd Gachet. This service
was established at Alabama College
in 1940, and has as one of its chief
functions the conducting of research
to develop knowledge of Alabama
conditions as to employment needs
and training facilities available to
the young people of the state.

Local Boys Enlist
In U. S. Navy

Henry F. Lucas, 24, Route 2;
James W. Battle, 20, both of Mon¬
tevallo; and Robert E. Lee, 25, of
Pelham, were enlisted in the U. S.
Navy last week, :t was announced
by Navy recruiting officials at Bir
mingram.

They were among 180 men of
Alabama who were recruited during
September and were sent to Nor¬
folk, Va., where they will be given
six weeks of training before bein;
assigned to ships.

This month the Navy will recruit
men as fast as it can and send
them to the training station at Nor
folk in an unlimited number. Pre¬
viously, the recruiting districts were
assigned a quota for each month
and could not seen more men than
the quota called for. However, be¬
ginning on the first of this month,
the enlistments will be made with¬
out regard to quota and it is ex¬
pected that over 400 men will be
taken in this month.

Full information concerning en¬
listments in the regular Navy or
Naval Reserve may be had at the
Birmingham Recruiting Station, lo¬
cated in the post office building.

The recruiting officials also an¬
nounced that the drive for quali¬
fied civilians for enlistment in the
Class V-6, Naval Reserve, is still
on. Trained craftsmen, tradesmen,
mariners, boatmen, boat engineers,
Diesel mechanics, etc., are needed
by the Navy for the formation of
this class which will be used in
time of war. Until that time the
men will be in an inactive status.
Enlistments in this class will be
made in petty officer ratings which
correspond with the position of the
civilian.

Program to Show Glimpses of
Early Days on Campus And
Changes That Have Taken Place

Students at Alabama College will
celebrate Founders Day at a con¬
vocation program Friday at 11
o’clock in Palmer Auditorium. The
townspeople are cordially invited to
attend. •

The program, “College Spirits,” in
which ghosts of the past will give
the audience glimpses into some of
the earlier years of the college, is
under the auspices of the Faculty
and Senate Alumnae Committees.

According to tradition, the senior
class will wear their caps and gowns
for the first time at this convoca¬
tion.

Saturday, October 12, will bring
representatives from the twenty-
three alumnae chapters over the
state to the campus for the Con¬
ference of Alumnae Chapter Dele¬
gates to be held in the morning.
This conference will be followed in
the afternoon by a meeting of the
executive board of the Alumnae
Association.

The principal business at the
conference will be the presentation
and amending of a- draft of a hand¬
book for alumnae chapters which
is now being compiled by a commit¬
tee composed of Miss Lulu Palmer,
of Montgomery, chairman; Mrs.
Lula Hawkins Gravlee, of Monte¬
vallo, and Mrs. Mary McConaughy
Ratchford, of Birmingham. It will
contain a system of organization, a
suggested program of activity and
a list of opportunities for possible
service to the college by alumnae
groups.

Mrs. Eloise Lee Zerwick, of Gads¬
den, president of the Alumnae As¬
sociation, will preside over the con¬
ference and the meeting of the ex¬
ecutive board.

Formerly Founders Day was the
occasion for the official Homecom¬
ing of alumnae of Alabama College.
Last year, however, an experiment
was made of having Homecoming
at College Night and was found so
successful that it will be held again
this year at that time.

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES, MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA

THE PRICELESS INGREDIENT

Proclamation By
Mayor For Boy
Scout Campaign

Boy Scouts and the Community Chest

Withdrawal of the Boy Scouts from participation in the Community
Chest is made this year in accord with certain promises given by the
Scout sponsors a year ago.

While this move is agreeably understood by all who are intimate with
the questions involved, it may be well to rehearse some facts leading up
to this action for benefit of those who may not know all the details.

The Civic Club is and has been sponsor of the Boy Scout movement
in Montevallo. Through this sponsorship the appeal for support for
Scouts has been made and granted in past years by the Community
Chest. The Black Warrior Council has objected to this plan of financing
the Scouts because it is contrary to the established custom of financing.
This objection on the part of the Council has been made each and every
year. Last year the local sponsors agreed with the Council that they
would not participate in the Chest any more and would put Scout fi¬
nancing in Montevallo on an approved basis.

This promise committed the sponsors to a plan of making an appeal
to the citizens of the community directly on behalf of financial support
of Scouting. Hence, the Civic Club did not request the Chest for a Boy-
Scout appropriation this year.

The club’s request for Chest funds was made and granted contemplat¬
ing a program for boys of the community that is more general and of
wider scope than Scouting alone. Full explanation of this grant of the
Chest to the Civic Club program is made in the Chest Board’s statement
of its plans for the year.

Without rehearsing the details, all of which we think are amply stated
and explained in the Chest Board’s statement, The Times would merely
make this general observation:

After considering the matter from every angle, those responsible for
both the Community Chest and the Boy Scouts in Montevallo have con¬
cluded that the most feasible plan among the number of possible plans is
to take the Boy Scouts out of the Community Chest and conduct a sepa¬
rate campaign in Montevallo for Scouting support. There is no conflict
of interest in the two campaigns and no measure of disagreement nor
misunderstanding among those who have determined this action. All of
them hope there will be no misunderstanding or confusion among the
citizens concerning the matter, and that the two campaigns will be as
liberally supported as possible:

The obstacle in the way of, conducting a Boy Scout Campaign in con
formity with the standard plan for the past few years has been the debt
owed on the cabin. The Black Warrior Council has now agreed to assume
the outstanding capital debt of $150 owed on the cabin in order to re¬
move this obstacle. It was on account of this debt that the appeal for
funds has hertofore been made to the Community Chest.

By the payment of\ this debt the Council will not claim nor have any
proprietary interest in the Big Spring Cabin, It will be kept up and used
iby the Civic Club in its larger program for all boys of the community, as
well as other civic groups who may find proper use for the cabin. The
Scouts, of course, may and will continue to use the cabin, inasmuch as
the Scout movement is an integral part of the general -program for boys
in Montevallo.

The Chest campaign for solicitation of funds begins today. The Scout
campaign begins on the 14th. It is fervently hoped that both movements
will receive amply sustaining support from the people of our community.

The Boy Scouts of America have
long been recognized as a great
character building organization. .It
is training in Americanism. It
teaches boys to love their country,
obey its laws and respect its flag.
Like the Red Cross, it is chartered
directly by Congress and the Presi¬
dent of the United States is its
“Honorary President.” Many of our
leading citizens have known its
teachings and daily practice its
virtues.

The Black Warrior Council of the
Boy Scouts of America has render¬
ed splendid service in this section
of Alabama for some years. 'An ag¬
gressive program of action is now
planned to extend the benefits of
Scout membership to many more
boys. Seventeen thousand boys in
this area want to join. Our citizens
welcome an opportunity to support
this great humanitarian work. The
official time for gathering the
means for carrying forward this
work is October 14, 15, and 16.

As Mayor of the City of Monte-
vajlo, I do hereby proclaim October
14, 15, and 16 as the official time
for the Boy Scouts Campaign. And
I, Chas. T. Acker, Mayor of the
City of Montevallo, do hereby rec¬
ognize A. C. Anderson as general
chairman of the Montevallo cam¬
paign committee, composed of A. C.
Anderson, Dr. W. D. Jackson, W. F.
Tidwell, E. C. Reinke, M. L. Orr,
and T. E. Watson.

The Boy Scout Oath and Scout
Law is the basis of Scouting. Every
person within our bounds should
have a part in carrying forward this
work for the citizens of the future.
The generosity of our citizens is
needed now as never before to ex¬
tend the benefits of this great pro¬
gram to all our boys.

Demand For Birth
Certificates Increases

In recent months there has been
an unprecedented demand for birth
registration certificates. This de¬
mand is due partly to the prepared¬
ness program and to the fact that
many large industrial companies
are requiring certificates before
giving employment.

The County Health Department
has had many requests for certifi¬
cates and the State Bureau of Vi¬
tal Statistics has been workiing
overtime in order to meet the de¬
mand.

The records at the County Health

Department date from January,
1929, that being the year that the
department was organized. Births
prior to 1929 are recorded at the
Bureau of Vital Statistics of the
State Department of Health, pro¬
vided the births were reported by
the attending physician.

In instances where the birth was
not reported, and where a birth
registration certifcate is needed, it
is necessary first to put the birth
on record at the State Bureau of
Vital Statistics by properly filling in
a delayed certificate of birth and
sending this to the Bureau.

Blanks and information in regard
to proper filing of the delayed
certificate will he furnished by your
County Health Department.—Dr. E.
F. Sloan, County Health Officer.

Revival services begin next Sun¬
day and continue through the fol¬
lowing week at the Wilton Baptist
Church. Services will he held daily,
morning and evening. Rev. Collis
Cunningham of Tallassee will
preach.—Rev,'L. T. Reeves, Pastor.

Auburn, Ala. — Plans have been
completed for Alabama farm fam¬
ilies to again this fall and winter
receive cotton and ticking for mak¬
ing mattresses, announces P. O.
Davis, director of the Alabama Ex¬
tension Service, and A. W. Jones,
AAA administrative officer.

Cotton and ticking will be fur¬
nished by the AAA and the Surplus
Mar k e t i n g Administration. Etna
McGaugh, state home agent of the
extension service, will be in charge
of the mattress making activities.

The new program will be similar
to the 1939-40 program under which
each farm family with less than
$400 income was given 50 pounds of
cotton and 10 yards of ticking for
use in making mattresses.

Salient features of the new pro¬
gram follow:

1. The income level is raised from
$400 to $500, plus an additional $50
for each member of the family in
excess of four persons.

2. Each family may receive one
mattress for every two persons in
the family. If the family has al¬
ready received a mattress under the
cotton mattress project or from the
Farm Security Administration or
Works Progress Administration, this
is included in determining the num-
which it may receive.

3. Money paid as cash rent or
commodities paid as standing rent
ma,y be deducted in determining the
amount of cash income.

4. The amount of cash income
means the family’s income for the
latest preceding calendar year. In.
other words, until January 1, 1941.
the 1939 income figure will be used
and thereafter th.e 1940 income fig¬
ure will be applicable.

Montevallo is fixing to pop the
lid off right away with the biggest
week in the history of the town. The
merchants and business men are
ooperating in plans for this event
which is set for October 28-Novem-
ber 21

The program will include a great
many events over the week which
will be of interest to every person
in the territory of Montevallo.

It will be an occasion of trade
expansion, getting better acquaint¬
ed with everybody, and features
for amusement and educational
value.

Committees are now at work de¬
vising details of the celebration.
There will be things of interest to
farmers, miners, industrial workers,
children and grown folks.

Community Fair

A feature that will appeal to ev¬
erybody is a Community Fair that

homes and communities of this
territory. Prizes will he awarded for
these exhibits.

Everybody is urged now to take
note of this great occasion. Re¬
member the dates, October 28 to
November 2. Full details will be an¬
nounced in a few days with a flood
of advertising material that will

STATE FARMERS ADVISED TO
UTILIZE KUDZU FIELDS

The Women’s Society for Christ¬
ian Service of Underwood held its
first regular business meeting of
the year at the church, Wednesday,
October 2. The meeting was con¬
ducted by the president, Mrs. W. T.
Evans.

The meeting was devpted mainly
to consecration and consideration
of the plans, programs, and finan¬
cial pledges for the year.

The next meeting which will be
a program meeting, will be held at
2 o’clock Wednesday, October 16,
at the home of Mrs. Frank Frost.

Auburn, Ala. — Alabama farmers
are advised by J. C. Lowery, exten¬
sion agronomist, to utilize their
kudzu for temporary grazing or hay
production, also to watch old vines
for seed.

“On many farms are small areas
of kudzu which are not being utiliz¬
ed for livestock,” he says, in advis¬
ing farmers to utilize their kudzu
fields.

Mr. Lowery reports that kudzu is
blooming in several counties and
may produce seed this year. “Kud¬
zu is not a certain seeder but farm¬
ers should watch old vines for seed
for home use,” he says.

Settle Farm Debt
Problem Now

Reminding that it is a lot easier
to settle debt problems now than
after foreclosure proceedings have
started, James N. Dennis, Farm Se¬
curity Administration supervisor,
announces that the Shelby County
Farm Debt Adjustment Committee
will meet in his office in Columbi¬
ana any time they are needed.

“Many farmers are far enough
along with their work to figure
pretty well what their income will
be,” Supervisor Dennis said. “Those
who anticipate possibly losing their
land, livestock, or equipment by
foreclosure should come to the com¬
mittee now while there is yet time
to help them.”

The farm debt adjustment com¬
mittee, composed of local people,
helps debt-distressed farmers by
working out a voluntary agreement
with their creditors providing for a
fair, orderly repayment schedule
that is within the farmer’s ability
to pay.

"Many mortgage-holders and oth¬
er creditors have realized almost the
face value of the debt by granting
softie concessions in principal and
interest,” the supervisor said, “where
otherwise they would have sustain¬
ed a big loss.”

OATS MAKE EXCELLENT
FEED FOR DAIRY COWS

Auburn, Ala.—F. W. Bums, ex¬
tension dairyman, is urging Ala¬
bama farmers to plant at least one
acre of oats per cow to furnish
early spring grazing and for grain
production.

“We find that 15 bushels of com
from an acre will furnish 677
pounds of total degistible nutri¬
ents compared with 686 pounds

Plant Oats by October 15

With very short grain crops and
still shorter money crops, it is more
important than ever that the farm¬
ers of Shelby County plant a good
oat crop this fall. The oats should
be planted on good land at the rate
of 2 to 3 bushels per acre.

Farmers who do not have the
ready cash may come to the office
and make assignment against their
cotton rental check for seed oats,
vetch, inoculation and fertilizer.

Montgomery, Ala. — A new Na¬
tional Guard arsenal, to replace the
Kilby Warehouse which burned sev¬
eral months ago, is expected to be
constructed soon, according to State
Military*, Department officials.

The new warehouse will be located
near Kilby Prison, four miles from
Montgomery on the Wetumpka
highway—site of the burned build¬
ing.

Steel, concrete and brick will be
the materials used; and the build¬
ing will be two stories high.

Cost of the structure is expected
to be about $32,000.

FARMERS UGRED NOT TO
OVER-CUT TIMBER

Auburn, Ala. — Prospective corn
yield in Alabama this year stands
at 12.5 bushels per acre, compared
with io bushels per acre harvested
last year and an average of 12.8
bushels for the 10-year period 1929-
1938, announces J. C. Garrett, state
and federal agricultural'statistician.

Total production is estimated at
43,025,000 bushels compared with
34,080,000 bushels In 1939, and 41,-
253,000 bushels average for the 10-
year period.

Hay production is estimated at
607,000 tons compared with 596,000

Auburn, Ala.—Increased demand
for lumber and higher stumpage
prices are causing many Alabama
fanners to make the mistake of
cutting their forest areas clean.

It is highly advisable for farmers
with equipment and labor to har¬
vest and market their timber on a
selective basis, advises Paul G.
Millsaps, assistant extension for¬
ester.

The following practices are rec¬
ommended for farmers without
equipment and labor: First, with a
white band of paint, mark all
defected, diseased, insect infested or
crowded trees to be cut. Scale each
one and tally, Second, specify the
amount to be sold and request
sealed bids from several buyers.
Third, draw up a timber sale con¬
tract covering the rate of payment,
protection to the remaining stand,
method the timber will be scaled,
and just what will and will not be
cut. Contract forms may be secured
either from the local county agent
or the extension forester’s office in
Auburn.

The 1940-1941 Community Chest Program

The New Budget Music In the Schools

Based on Estimated Receipts of $1,700

For welfare service-54%

For character building agencies-43%

School band and orchestra-6%

Montevallo P. T. A-10%

High school athletics-6%

Civic Club boy’s program-5%

Girl Scouts- 11%

Negro fund-5%

For operation of the Chest-3%

Total _100%

The Chest Board asks the citizens of Montevallo
to contribute for this year’s budget a minimum of
$ 1700 —the same amount asked for and contributed
last year and the year before. This $1700 will provide:
for welfare service $918; for character building recrea¬
tion $730; for operating expense $51. According to this,
budget, the high school band and elementary school
orchestra will receive $102; the Montevallo P. T. A.
$170; high school athletics $102; the Civic Club pro¬
gram for boys $85; Girl Scouts $187; the fund for
Negro children $85.

The appropriation made last year for the high
school band and the elementary school orchestra has
been renewed. These organizations are providing mu¬
sical training for so many children and are so valuable
in the life of the community that the Board would
gladly have increased this allotment had not the pres¬
sure of other needs been so great.

The P. T. A.

To appreciate the value of the school playground
equipment purchased with the money provided the
P. T. A. by the Chest one should visit the elementary
and high Schools, see the children at play, and talk
with the teachers. The Montevallo schools are for¬
tunate in the playground supervision that is provided.
But the number of children has greatly increased in
recent years and the P. T. A. could use to advantage
much more money than it receives from the Chest.

Athletics

Before the Chest was started the merchants of Mon¬
tevallo were called on year after year to contribute
from $100 to $150 for uniforms and other equipment Sunday aiiemoon.
necessary for the high school athletic program. The Mrs. Burr Fanchei
first Chest Board agreed to provide at least $100 a
year for high school athletics so that public solicita¬
tion of contributions by the high school itself would
no longer be necessary.

The $40 to $50 used annually for operating the Mon¬
tevallo Community Chest is spent chiefly for printing
and postage that are called for by conducting the cam¬
paign for funds, collecting the subscriptions, and
printing and distributing the annual report. The Mon¬
tevallo Community Chest is operated at a cost much
lower than is usual for such programs.

Welfare Service

Last year the allotment for emergency relief was
substantially increased by the Chest Board. This in¬
crease has been continued for this year. As in the
past, the relief funds will be administered with great
care, every case being investigated by the Welfare
Department of Alabama College. Relief expenditures
will be approved only when Government, or Red Cross,
funds are not available to care for serious human
distress.

The $918 allocated for relief in the minimum bud¬
get above will not cover all such human needs. For
this reason, all receipts above the minimum budget
total will be added to the Welfare fund. Additional

contributions last year amounted to nearly $50. The r J

Board hopes this year there will be not less than $100 | h6 NGQfO rUflO

of such contributions by those who are especially
concerned for the relief program.

The Big Spring Cabin

The cabin at Big Spring, erected by the Montevallo
Civic Club two years ago and financed largely by the
Community Chest, will continue to be used by Boy
Scouts, but it will not longer be distinctly a Scout
building. Instead, the Civic Club is setting up a larger
program of service for boys of all ages in various
groups. Announcements of these plans will be made
soon.

The cabin will be maintained by the Civic Club for
the use of all of these boys and from time to time
of other community groups. To assist in meeting the
expense of keeping up this community building and
enlarging the use of it, the Board has allocated to
the Civic Club 5 per cent of the Chest budget.

The Girl Scout House

The “Little House,” erected primarily for the use of
Girl Scouts on ground leased at a nominal charge by
Alabama College to the Girl Scout Council, is indeed
much more than an attractive Scout home. The Coun¬
cil has found that, without disturbing the Scout pro¬
gram, the house can frequently be made available
for the use of other groups of young people and adults.
The allotment for the building fund of this attrac¬
tive and useful building has been renewed.

Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Gay motored

The Welfare expenditure for last year was distribut¬
ed approximately as follows: 41 per cent for school
lunches; 23 per cent for hospitalization; 21 per cent
for medicine; 7 per cent for groceries; 6 per cent for
clothing; one-half of one per cent for maternal wel¬
fare supplies.

Many contributors to the Chest are particularly

Farm Fires Cause Losses Of
Millions Of Dollars Annually

“When trees burn, money burns.”
This is the word that the Farm Se¬
curity Administration is spreading
among its borrowers in Alabama’s
rich turpentine and lumber sec¬
tions during National Fire Preven¬
tion Week, October 6 to 12.

“Farmers who start forest fires
are actually striking a match to
one of his community’s most profit¬
able industries,” James N. Dennis,
FSA farm supervisor, points out.
“Loss of markets due to the ending
of payrolls, the loss of a chance at
part-time employment, the loss of
soil protection and cover for game
—all caused by fire — make every
farmer suffer, whether he is a di-

tion. It kills sturdy weeds and
small seedlings whose roots help to
prevent erosion. Burning off a field
each year will cause its erosion al¬

most as quickly as will careless
plowing and cropping.”

In one hour fire can leave only
a chimney ctanding to mark the
site of a farm home it took many
years of digging in the earth to pay
for. Realizing that homes, the be¬
ginning of security on the farm,
can be so easily destroyed, Mr. Den¬
nis and his associates are teaching
FSA borrowers the dangers of in¬
discriminate use of fire. Regular
check-up inspections of houses and
barns are made to see that all kero¬
sene, oils and fuels are stored
properly. And before winter sets in,
each borrower is expected to inves¬
tigate his flues and chimneys. If
these are found in no fit shape for
freezing weather’s roaring fires,
their repair is listed on farm and
home plans as a “must do” job.

“Every year American farmers
give one hundred twenty-seven and
a half million dollars to the flames.
How much of this loss falls on
Southern farmers can be measured
from the fact that almost one-
fourth of the nation’s timber lands,
almost a third of its lumber produc¬
tion, and 95 per cent of its naval
stores production (1925-35) is in
four southeastern states, Florida,
South Carolina, Georgia, and Ala¬
bama.

“However little or much of the
loss falls on Shelby County folks
directly,” Mr. Dennis said, “one
can easily see that deliberate and
careful planning of fire. protection
is as much a necessity for profit¬
able farming as soil building or the
selection of good seed. Three simple
rules to follow are:

“I. Don’t burn off woods and
fields indiscriminately.

“2. Don’t use gasoline or kerosene
as kindling.

“3. Keep a supply of water, dirt or
sand handy as good fire insurance.

“Eighty-five per cent of farm
fires are preventable, recent sur¬
veys have shown. The careless
packing of hay, failure to repair
faulty flues, the use of kerosene
and gasoline as kindling are respon¬
sible for a large number of-, such
preventable blazes.

“More often in this section, forest
fires result from the common and
lamented practice of ‘burning-off’
open woods and fields. While the
burning does keep down larger
shrubs and tall grasses, allowing
a fresh crop of tender shoots to
grow, the benefits are only tempor¬
ary. The burning of forest floors
damages standing trees, cutting
their value both for turpentine and
lumber, as well as destroys young
seedlings. Regular burning of open
fields robs the soil of natural fer¬
tilizer supplied by rotting vegeta-

The thought of preparedness
is not new to Bell Telephone workers. In fact, the South’s
and the nation’s vast telephone system is what it is today
mainly because preparedness is one of the fundamental
principles of the Bell System’s policy.

Telephone people are constantly at war with the
elements, fire, flood and hurricane. They are prepared
in advance to meet the emergency whenever and wher¬
ever danger strikes.

Rapidly changing industrial demands—shifting
populations — quick expansions in some places and con¬
tractions at others—ever-changing problems of supply
and demand are conditions under which all telephone
people are accustomed to working.

Years of experience in anticipating, planning for
and meeting these exacting demands strengthen the
confidence of telephone workers in their ability
to provide for the needs of the South and the
nation under any conditions that may arise.

SHELBY COUNTY BOYS GIVE
DEMONSTRATIONS AT FAIR

Two Shelby County boys were se¬
lected to give demonstrations at the
State Fair. They were Robert Lee
Merrell and Robert McLain of the
Calera 4-H Club. These boys put on
demonstrations twice a day during
each day of the fair. The demon¬
strations were treating oats for
smut and inocculating winter le¬
gume seed. The demonstrations
were given in such a good manner
that these boys were selected to
give their demonstrations during
the Governor’s visit to the fair. We
are proud of these hoys and hope
that they will continue as leaders
in 4-H Club work in Shelby County.

Shelby County Boys And Girls
Win Prizes At State Fair

"The Greatest Show
On Earth” To Play
In Birmingham

The Ringling Bros, and Barnum
and Bailey Circus, with the world’s
largest big top in solid blue, im¬
proved air conditioning, a new
opening spectacle, “The Return of
Marco Polo,” created and costumed
in France by Max Weldy, and an
all-new performance, star-studded
by a tremendous array of new Eu¬
ropean features, will exhibit in Bir¬
mingham Thursday, October 17.

Foremost among the impressive
importations is the great Alfred
Count, Europe’s most famous train¬
er, with his three famed mixed
groups of performing wild animals
—polar bears, Himalayan bears,
Bengal tigers, lions, black and spot ¬
ted leopards, Siberian snow leop¬
ards, black and spotted panthers,
cougars, pumas, jaguars and Great
Dane dogs, all working together in
breath-taking violation of jungle
law. Never before has a trainer ac¬
complished this startling mixing of
so many species of natural enemies.
This is Count’s first American ap¬
pearance.

Twenty Shelby County boys and
girls entered their registered calves
in the dairy calf club show held in
Birmingham during the week of
September 30. It was the best show¬
ing that the Shelby County group
has made since it first entered the
Calf Club competition in 1938. The
competition was much stronger this
year than ever before and the Shel¬
by County Club won more money
than any previous year. One reason
for the better showing was the in¬
creased enthusiasm and better con¬
ditioning of the calves over last
year. The following is a list of prizes
won by Shelby County groups:

Guernsey—Junior calf, first place,
Tommie Baker, $12; senior calf,
second place, Bobby Baker, $10; bull
calf, third place, Bobby Baker, $8.

Jersey—Junior calf, third place,
Carl Bailey, $8; senior calf, fifth
place, Helen Lokey, $4; junior heif •
er, third place, Tommie Baker, $8;
sixth place, Tommie Baker, $3;
ninth place, Robert Lockeridge, $2;
senior heifer, third place, Frank
Wolf, $8; fourth place, Tensley
Bradley, $6; eighth place, Coleman
Moore, $2.

Open class Jerseys—Junior calf,
fifth place, Carl Bailey, $4; junior
heifer, 6th place, Tommie Baker, $3;

senior heifer, seventh place, Frank
Wolf, $2.

Get of Sire—third place, Tommie
Baker, Robert Lockeridge, Aldon
Garrett, Cecil Dennis, $8.

County exhibit—Second place, $40.

Holstein judging — First place,
Helen Lokey, trophy.

Jersey judging — Second place,
Floyd Blankenship, medal.

On Monday, September 30, all of
the Shelby County boys entered the
judging contest which consisted of
judging Jerseys, Holsteins, and
Guernseys. Helen Lokey of Wilson-
ville won first prize in the judging
of Holsteins. Her award was a nice
trophy awarded by the Alabama
State Fail Association. Floyd Blank¬
enship of the Calera 4-H Club won
second place and a silver medal in
judging the Jersey class and Frank
Wolf was second in the state, in
judging all classes of dairy animals.
He scored 551 out of a possible 600.
Five calves were exhibited from
each county to determine the 'best
county exhibit. Shelby County boys
and girls won second place in the
county exhibit. Jefferson County
won first.

We consider this showing very
good but we want to encourage
other boys and girls in the county
to enter the 4-H Jersey Calf Club
and help make Shelby County a
better dairy county.

Rev, and Mrs. T. M. Davis, Mrs.
Ted Bridges, and Mrs. W. J. Ken¬
nedy attended a Presbyterian meet¬
ing in Birmingham Monday.

The leading horsemen of Europe
—Hans Strassburger, Vas Concelos,
and Los Aserveras—with their re¬
nowned troupes of dressage and
liberty steeds bring the Big Show’s
horse displays to a new high. The
war and big money made their im¬
portation possible, as it did scores
of other troupes and stars who
hitherto would not budge off the
Continent.

The Greatest Show on Earth,
steaming toward this territory on
four long trains, with 1,600 people,
50 elephants, 1,009 menagerie ani¬
mals and hundreds of horses, will
open its performances at 2:15 and
8:15 daily, with doors open at 1
and 7 p.m., for public inspection
of the huge menagerie, including
Gargantua the Great, and the long
lines of performing steeds in the
new horse fair tent adjoining it.

Local Club Observes National
Business Women’s Week

I In keeping with the spirit of the
| theme of the National Business and
II Professional Women’s Club, the lo¬
cal chapter, with the might of local
cooperation, is this week celebrat¬
ing National Business Women’s
Week. Miss Dawn Kennedy, head of
the art department of Alabama Col-

I lege, with a group of students who
are being trained for business, have
carefully planned and executed a
series of window displays through¬
out the downtown section. These
windows pictorially call on all vot¬
ers to make democracy work by
actually casting their vote for the
candidates of their own choice. The
historical status of women in our
political life is sketched in one win-
1 dow, in another our patriotic vot¬
ing duty is stressed, while, another
shows that the present day woman
, j can be a charming hostess and yet
S have time to take her rightful place

in the political issues of the state
and national government.

Alice L. Manning, national legis¬
lative chairman, says: “Now is the
time to get to know the distinguish¬
ed men and women who are seeking
your vote on November 5, those who
would like to represent you in the
U. S. Congress, in your state legis¬
lature, in your local government as
well as those who would be your
governor, your mayor, and your
county officials. Now is the time to
speak for yourself — through your
vote. Oppose all who have favored
laws and executive orders which
have been discriminating and un¬
democratic.”

The National organization has
just published a pamphlet, “State
vs. Married Woman Worker,” pre¬
pared by Dorothy D. Crook. “In the
past year, while the married woman
worker has been the center of spir¬

i

ited debate in the public press and
on lecture platforms, the courts
have been weighing her rights as a
citizen of this democracy. “The Su¬
preme Court of Massachusetts
handed down on June 28, 1939, an
advisory opinion declaring that all
the proposed bills which would ex¬
clude married women from public
employment would be contrary to
the ‘due process’ and the ‘equal
prtection’ clauses of the federal
and state constitutions,” the pam¬
phlet states.

“Just a year later the District
Court of Appeals in California de¬
cided that a city ruling barring
state employment to a ‘married
person’ whose spouse was also em¬
ployed by the state was arbitrary,
capricious, and therefore, unconsti¬
tutional.”

Besides presenting a thoroughly
documented legal brief, the new
Federation pamphlet offers the first
and only compilation of all existing
legislative and executive restrictions
on the right of married women to
work in the United States and for¬
eign countries. Legal restrictions in
the United States now take the form
of executive orders by state offi¬
cials, municipal ordinances, and
school board regulations. All pro¬
posed bills in the state legislatures
have been defeated, and the one
law which was passed has been re¬
pealed. All attempts.on the part of
the federal government to bar em¬
ployment because of marital status
have also been cancelled.

The history of the restrictions on
women in Germany since 1933 gives
a hint of the way women can be¬
come the football of government
policy when deprived of all freedom
to choose their life’s work in ac¬
cordance with their own personal
abilities and tastes, Miss Crook
says. In 1933 a government order
was promulgated which made it
unlawful to hire a wife or daughter
of a male wage earner. In Decem¬
ber, 1938, the government decreed
that women workers could go back
into industry and commerce. And
by March, 1940, the editor of the
newspaper known as the organ of
the Elite Guard was demanding
that every woman be forced to work
by government decree!

But, according to Miss Crook, “It
is encouraging to note that a large
number of states have countered
the trend of discrimination because
of marriage and have specially pro¬

vided through civil service codes
that public employment should be
based on merit, regardless of sex
or economic or marital status. Out
of the eighteen teacher tenure laws
in existence, only three provide
specifically that marriage is not a
just cause for dismissal. These three
laws are in effect in Kentucky, New
Jersey and North Carolina.”

This study also reveals that in
1937, for example, Argentina passed
a law prohibiting inclusion of pro¬
visions for dismissal on marriage
in employment contracts.

A clear and definite guarantee
was given to women m Cuba in
1935. Legislative decree No. 598 de¬
clares that “women shall have the
same right to be employed as men.”

Two provinces in Canada, Alberta
and British Columbia, passed in
1930 and 1931 laws which provide
that no person shall be disqualified
by reason of sex or marriage from
the exercise of any public function
or from entering, assuming or car¬
rying on any civil profession or vo¬
cation.

The Honorable Frank M. Dixon,
Governor of our own state, said
recently in a proclamation relative
to this week: “The National Busi¬
ness and Professional Women’s
Club, with its over 70,000 members
in these United States, Hawaii,
Cuba and Alaska, has as its key¬
note of the biennium study of ‘Busi¬
ness Women in a Democracy’ these
challenging words, ‘Making Democ¬
racy Work,’ which is a fitting key¬
note in the chaos of today when
people wonder if human freedom,
or kindliness, or tolerance and mer¬
cy can survive the forces of hate
and destruction in the world.”

He further adds: “The object of
the study is to direct the thinking
of women in business and the pro¬
fessions to the problems of our
times in order to help safeguard
the economic, social and political
future of American women by the
preservation of democracy.”

SCS SEARCHING FOR NEW
EROSION CONTROL PLANTS

Auburn, Ala.—Over 80 million
plants are now growing on more
than 500 acres of nursery land in
the Southeast for erosion control
purposes, reports O. C. Metlock,
Alabama co-ordinator of the Soil
Conservation Service.

The greatest number of these

plants is kudzu. Second largest in
number is tree seedlings. In all, a
total of 39 different erosion con¬
trol plants are in quantity produc¬
tion.

Besides that, more than 600 varie¬
ties of plants with erosion-control
possibilities are being tried. Of
these about 300 have been collected
in the Southeastern states. The
others were sent from other sec¬
tions of the country to be tried
out under southeastern conditions.

Observational nurseries are locat¬
ed at Thorsby, Ala., and Chapel
Hill, N. C.

When a promising plant is dis¬
covered, seed are sent to these nurs¬
eries. There a small planting is
made for observation. If the seed
come up, and the plant thrives,
seed are collected and sent to oth¬
er nurseries in other sections of the
United States for observation un¬
der different conditions. After the
plant shows promise as a soil-con¬
serving plant, workers all over the
Southeast are supplied with seed
for actual field trials.

Son Is Born To
Mr. And Mrs. Bray

The following news item publish¬
ed in Evansville, Ind., will be of in¬
terest to many people in Monte¬
vallo:

“The Buster Brays gave Evans¬
ville a true world series baby yester¬
day.

“A 10%-pound son was bom to
Mrs. Bray at 12:15 o’clock yester¬
day afternoon at the St. Mary’s
Hospital, just 15 minutes before the
first ball was pitched in yesterday’s
Detroit-Cincinnati game.

“The Brays immediately named
the lad Robert Neill—the Robert
after Manager Bob Coleman and
the Neill after Buster’s grandfath¬
er.

“Mrs. Bray was reported ‘doing
nicely,’ and hospital attaches said
the baby was the biggest in the
ward.”

“Buster” is Clarence Bray and
Mrs. Bray is the former Miss Lois
Blake. Mr. Bray is a memebr of the
Evansville baseball team.

Merchants Plan Trade Expansion Celebravion

One Full Week Of "Get Better
Acquainted” Activities Is In
Store For Oct. 28-Nov. 2

Business Men Will Visit Territory
Surrounding Montevallo On
Tour of Good - Will

“Let’s Get Better Acquainted” is
the theme song of the Merchants
Association of Montevallo for the
big trade expansion celebration
which they are planning for one
whole week, October 28 to November
2. Invitation to participate in this
event will be broadcast to every
person in reach of this town with¬
in the next week.

It will be more than a sales
event by the merchants. Many
things of special interest are plan¬
ned for each day of the week. The
merchants want everybody to come
to town, stay as long as you wish,
and have a good time.

When the program is completed
it will contain something of inter¬
est to farmers, laborers, miners,
young folks, old folks, in fact, ev¬
erybody in this part of the county.

Within the next week it is plan¬
ned to have a caravan of auto¬
mobiles to go out from Montevallo
on a good-will tour of the sur¬
rounding districts. The merchants
and business men of the town will
make this trip. They plan to visit
farms, mines, factories, and talk
with people wherever they find
them. On this trip they will per¬
sonally invite everybody to come to
Montevallo and take part in the
“Get Acquainted” celebration.

A special 16-page edition of The
Montevallo Times next week will
go into every home in reach of
Montevallo telling all about the
plans of this gala affair. 1

The streets of the town are now
being decorated for the occasion.
Flag liners, streamers, and bunting
will put a holiday appearance on
the whole place. All of the stores
will be gaily decorated. ■

To top the big week off will be the
Community Fair at the high school
on Friday night, November 1, and
Saturday, November 2.

B. P. W. BANQUET

Adjutant - General Ben M.
Smith who, as director of selec¬
tive service for the state, had
full supervision of registering
on Wednesday, October 16, of all
male citizens of Alabama be¬
tween the ages of 21 and 35, and
will direct the work of the 155
draft boards whose members
have been recommended by
Gov. Frank M. Dixon for ap¬
pointment by President Roose¬
velt. General Smith, himself a
World War veteran, is a native
of Alabama. He was born and
reared in Tuscaloosa County.

Class Production
Will Mark Debut
Of Fifteen Freshmen

Circle No. 2 of the Baptist Mis¬
sionary Society met at the home of
Mrs. W. F. Tidwell Monday after¬
noon, October 14.

Mrs. F. H. Frost, the circle lead¬
er, led the devotional. After a short
business meeting Mrs. Frost intro¬
duced the guest, Miss Isabel Guillen,
a student at Alabama College. Miss
Guillen is from San Pedro Sula,
Honduras. She gave a most interest¬
ing talk on the conditions in Hon¬
duras.

Later in the afternoon delicious
refreshments were served to the fol¬
lowing members: Mesdames Frost,
Cooper Shaw, Jim Woolley, Reese
Woolley, R. F. Ray, W. J. Mitchell,
F. P. Givhan, J. I. Reid, M. F.
Grady, Edwin Allen, J. L. Bridges,
Pelham Thomas, the hostess, Mrs.
Tidwell, and the guest, Miss Guillen.

The Montevallo Business and Pro¬
fessional Women's Club will hold
its annual banquet at the Metho¬
dist Church at 7 pm. Thursday,
October 24. The committee in
charge of arrangements is: Mrs. J.
A. Brown, Miss Loretta Skelly, and
Dr. Joyce Kellogg. In spite of the
formality which usually is present
on such occasions, this trio prom¬
ises rare and amusing entertain¬
ment during the course of the even¬
ing. Each other organization in the
city will be invited to send repre¬
sentatives from their individual
group.

No Broadway opening night will
ever be so exciting to fifteen Ala¬
bama College freshmen as the even¬
ing of Wednesday, October 23, when
the freshman play is presented in
Palmer Auditorium. For, on that
night, fifteen young actresses will
make their campus debut in Juliet
Wilbor Tompkin’s delightful com¬
edy, “Once There Was a Princess.”
Ermine capes and limousines may
be lacking, but certainly the thrill
of “opening night” will -be there—
a thrill that cannot be compared
to any other experience in their
young lives. The smell of grease¬
paint, the final adjustments to the
scenery, the last-minute smooth¬
ings of costumes, and, finally the
stage manager’s order, “Curtain,”
are experiences that will never be
forgotten. No matter how many
roles they play, no matter how far
they go—Hollywood or Broadway—
their prayers for acceptance by the
audience will never be so fervent
nor their joy so great as when the
final curtain falls in the midst of
thunderous applause.

The play itself is centered around
a plain, middle-western family, the
Boyds, into whose home comes the
Princess for a visit—a Princess they
knew long ago as Ellen Guthrie, a
simple, lovable, little girl. The ex¬
citement caused in Millertown, Indi¬
ana, the scene of the play, by the
news that royalty is coming to visit
is at fever pitch. But what Miller-
town and the Boyds expect, and
what they get makes a genuine and
human story that is better left for
the actors to unfold.

The Princess is played by Thelma
Hassler, a Birmingham girl, well
able to take her place with the best
the campus has to offer, both as
to beauty and talent. Able support

Quiz Program To
Feature College
Professorial Talent

The first radio quiz program to
feature college professors for talent
will go on the air waves this week
when Alabama College presents a
program called “Probing the Pro¬
fessors” which will be aired each
Saturday evening from 6:45 p.m. to
7:00 p.m. over Radio Station WAPI
in Birmingham.

According to Miss Nora Land¬
mark, radio specialist at Alabama
College, "Probing the Professors”
will be a series of question-answer
programs during which faculty
members of the various academic
departments will answer questions
supplied by students, alumnae, and
the listening audience. First de¬
partment to be put on the spot will
be the sociology professors, who
open the series Saturday, October
19, at 6:45 p.m.

A special source of questions will
be former students of the college
who are being encouraged to send
in questions that they always want¬
ed to ask while they were students
at Montevallo but never quite had
the nerve.

“Learning the Language of Music”

In addition to “Probing the Pro¬
fessors,” the Alabama College
School of the Air will continue the
program called “Learning the
Language of Music,” conducted by
Mrs. Josephine Waller, designed for
the Alabama elementary school
child. At 2:00 p.m. each Tuesday
afternoon throughout the school
year, this program will stress active
participation in a music class.
School children all over Alabama
will listen with their teacher in the
classroom while Mrs. Waller con¬
ducts a studio class of unrehearsed
elementary students. Rhythm, score
reading, and many folk songs will
be taught in this radio series which
begins Tuesday, October 22.

The third phase of radio activity
which will originate on the campus
of Alabama College this year will
be a college talent program, pre¬
sented each Thursday night at 9:30.
This weekly series will feature dra¬
matic and musical programs in¬
volving faculty and student artists;
the College Orchestra under direc¬
tion of Professor York Kildea; the
Glee Club under direction of Pro¬
fessor H. D. LeBaron; and the en¬
tire student body once each month
in a Step Singing program.

zation.

Mr. Wooten Reports Excellent Progress
In Community Chest Campaign

The temperature on the Commun¬
ity Chest thermometer has gone up
several degrees each day this week,
indicating that .the solicitors are
turning in a constant stream of
pledges from people of the commun¬
ity.

Mr. L. W. Wooten, chairman of
the solicitation campaign, started
off the job with a thorough and
efficient organization of his forces.
His machine fairly “clicked” from
the start, and indications are that
the work of pledging the Chest
budget will be completed this year
in record time.

In an interview Tuesday Mr.
Wooten said:

“We have had wonderful coopera¬
tion and excellent work on the part
of the solicitors, and a very fine

Community Fair To Be Held
At High School Will Exhibit
Home And Farm Products

A Community Fair will be held at the Montevallo High School Friday
night, November 1, and Saturday, November 2. It is sponsored by the
Montevallo Merchants Association, the Montevallo High School, and the
clubs of the various communities surrounding Montevallo.

The fair is a part of the week’s program of Montevallo’s big trade ex¬
pansion and “Let’s Get Better Acquainted Celebration,” which begins
cn Monday, October 28, and extends through Saturday, November 2.

The purpose of the Community Fair is to stimulate interest in build¬
ing a better community. One of the means of building a better commun-

--$ity is to improve living conditions

by increasing the number and
amount of products grown for home
consumption and for sale. It seems
fairly safe, therefore, for us to go
strong on raising products for home
living and in this way increase our
purchasing power to offset any
threat to our standard of living.
The sponsors feel that through the
fair, interest in home living will be
increased, and that from this small
beginning much good can be ac¬
complished over a period of years.

In the spirit and sense of this
broad purpose the faculty of our
high school is working hard upon
every possibility to make the Com¬
munity Fair as interesting, as edu¬
cational, as stimulating as it can
be made, and to secure representa¬
tion of every phase of interest o:
every group of citizens in this sec¬
tion of the county.

Exhibits of an educational nature'
will be made by the following

Conserving The
f Farm Lands

By A. A. Lauderdale
County Agent

The ultimate objective of soil
conservation is the maintenance of
permanent productivity of the land
while using it for maximum econ¬
omic productivity. To attain this ob¬
jective, it is necessary that fertility
■be maintained and the soil held in
place. Since the productivity of large
areas of the farm lands in most lo¬
calities has already been seriously
impaired—some areas even totally
destroyed—by erosion and misuse,
the problem is to develop in those
who use the land conservation
habits that will maintain the re¬
maining soil assets at a permanent
level of economic productiveness.

Each of the 275,000 farms in Ala¬
bama is a unit with distinctive
differences and specific problems of
its own. A practical soil conserva¬
tion program must of necissity be
based on existing conditions which
.involve primarily the land, the peo¬
ple and the climate. Each field or
tract of land has certain charac-
f (eristics. A sound program of soil
conservation must provide for the
fii use and management of each tract
of land according to its adaptabili¬
ties and capabilities. If, however,
'the program is to be feasible, it
must also meet the economic and
social demands of the farm of which
the tract is a part and of the farm¬
er who operates the farm. Erosion
control, to be permanently effec¬
tive and economically practical, in¬
volves more than the installation
and maintenance of engineering and
vegetative measures. It involves
land use planning, cropping prac¬
tices, including crop rotations pas¬
ture management, woodland man¬
agement, and many other phases of
general farm operation. In some
instances it may even require a
complete reorganization of the sys¬
tem of farming and the farm lay¬
out. The starting of such a program
on any farm entails careful plan¬
ning by individuals properly in¬
formed on the various factors in¬
volved.

■ Most farmers, given a limited
amount of guidance, are qualified to
institute the conservation measures
;ieeded on their farm. However,
nany farmers are attempting to
nstall conservation farming meth¬
ods without a definite plan to guide
their operations. Thousands of land

owners throughout the state are re¬
questing assistance in planning for
their farms a practical program of
soil conservation. This assistance
will be made available to the farm¬
ers of Shelby County if the land
owners approve the organization of
the North Central Soil Conserva¬
tion District in the referendum to
be held on October 26.

Every land owner who is inter¬
ested in conserving the soil on his
farm should not fail to vote in this
referendum.

Teacher Retirement
Plan Will Begin
One Year From Now

Among the Auburn students at
home for the week end were Bob
Anderson, Bill Wilson, and Wiley
Fancher.

Montgomery, Ala. — Eligible Ala¬
bama school teachers can retire a
year from now when the $150,000
Governor F’rank M. Dixon has allo¬
cated to the retirement fund is
placed in operation. This prediction
came last week from W. H. McGreg¬
or, secretary-treasurer of the Teach¬
er Retirement System.

The retirement system was set
up under the Dixon administration
with an initial annual appropria¬
tion of $10,000 to lay the founda¬
tion for the work. Mr. McGregor
stated that he is now engaged in
learning which of the state’s 20,000
teachers want to enroll in the sys¬
tem, and what their service records
are.

The law concerning the retire¬
ment set-up provides that the state
shall appropriate to the fund the
first $400,000 above the general bal¬
ance, but the amount has not been
available. The $150,000 allocation
last week was the starter toward
realization of the plan. The amount
was obtained by holding open the
tax books a few days after begin¬
ning of the new fiscal year. State

officials agree that the entire $400,-
000 amount will be available in
October, 1941.

Under the plan teachers may re¬
tire at 60; must retire at 70. Not
before 1943, however, can they bene¬
fit before reaching the age of 70.

Mr. McGregor said that the first
phase of his work would be com¬
pleted by June 15. Then detailed
tabulations of the projects will go
to a New York actuary, who is to
give him advice as to how much
state funds will be necessary to bal¬
ance the three and one-half per
cent of their salaries the teachers
will pay.

Sponsors of the “Let’s Get Better Acquainted Celebration” and the
Community Fair in Montevallo have a mutual and genuine purpose to¬
ward stimulating interest in building a better community. It is not a
plan for a big; spurt of one week and then quit. It is a long-time propo¬
sition that is going to be followed up consistently from time to time in
the future.

All of our people are interested and much concerned about better living
conditions. All of us want our farmer citizens to become able to produce
more things'for home consumption and for sale. We want our industrial
population to have good jobs, get good pay, and enjoy ample means of
providing their families with the comforts and conveniences of a happy
and prosperous life. We want our industries to thrive upon production
levels that will enable them to meet profitably a full consumer demand
for their products. We want our merchants to enjoy the benefits that
belong to them through trade with the people who live ini this territory
and make their living here. Such is the teaching of our schools.

To this end of mutual benefit one to another the various agencies
whose destiny is rooted in this section of the earth—and whose future
rests in and on our mutual welfare—have combined, in a program that
is planned to make us better acquainted with each other, to better un¬
derstand each other, and to help one another in the achievement of
spiritual and material advantages that will make all of us happier and
better citizens.

If you want to subscribe to a program as big and as promising as this
program for Montevallo and surrounding communities, you are asked to

This Flag of Ours

« I

In these present days of universal chaos, an ever-increasing number
of Americans cling to the flag of this country in the belief that it is the
only guarantee of human welfare and human dignity in a world beset by
dark and evil forces.

At such a time, it is particularly appropriate to envision what the flag
might say to the citizens of the United States if it were suddenly gifted
with a voice. A. W. Hawkes, president of Congoleum-Nairn, Inc., did
just that recently in the following stirring words, which need no further
comment:

“I, as your flag, represent true democracy in the representative form.
I am only 163 years old, but before I took form and became a reality,
millions of people throughout the world had given up their lives trying
to give me birth. . . .

“If you would not fail me, you will preserve me in what I represent
for you and those to follow. Your work in preserving me is only the
fulfillment of your obligation to principle and justice and those who cre¬
ated me for you. They gave to you, through me, liberty and freedom and
the opportunity for individual accomplishment—fair reward for services
and the protection of the law in the rightful enjoyment of property legally
acquired.

“I leave you with this thought: I, your flag, will mean just what you
make me mean. I will stand for you and what you are and what you do.
I can be no more and no less than the representative of your character,
courage and nobility of purpose. I hope you will never forsake the things
I stand for and I hope your acts will enable me always to hold my head
high any place on earth, proceeding always in the interest of justice, in
the support of the will of God on earth, and in promoting the develop¬
ment of mankind in rightful happiness.

“May you never forget your obligation in return for your privileges
—and remember, I shall be with you always, if you make me stay.”

SHELBY COUNTY’S PROBLEM

Our neighboring county of Shelby,
like many another place, has its
share of good, respectable, law-
abiding people and its share of
people who sometimes violate the
law. On the whole, Shelby is no
better, no worse, than hundreds of
other counties in this wide country
of ours.

But Shelby is known widely over
Alabama as a county that votes
dry, yet continues to turn out illicit
liquor by the barrel. Even during
Alabama’s period of “bone-dry”
prohibition, Shelby County suffer¬
ed a bad reputation because of the
activities of bootleggers. It was, in
the dry era, considered one of the
wettest counties in Alabama. And
today, though legally dry, Shelby
is illegally wet.

Federal Judge T. A. Murphree
took judicial notice of Shelby Coun¬
ty’s reputation as a bootlegger’s
haven last week when he said:
“That’s the worst part of the state
down there in Shelby County. As
long as they keep making liquor
down there I’m going to keep send¬
ing them off.”

Now Judge Murphree knows and
this newspaper knows that
there are many good people in Shel¬
by County. It is no reflection on
them to say that their county is
the “bootleg capital” of Alabama.
For most people in Shelby County
deplore the bootlegging evil.

The good people of Shelby who
honestly believe in the principles
of prohibition, however, must find
it difficult to maintain their atti¬
tude. Prohibition has never been a
fact in Shelby. It merely has been
an election-day hope for the men
and women who have gone to the
polls to vote dry.

There must be a demand for
liquor in Shelby or bootlegging
would not flourish there. (In the
old days a large part of the illicit
liquor found its way to Birming¬
ham, but the record seems to prove
that importations of wildcat whisky
into legally wet Jefferson nowadays
are very small, indeed.)

Why does Shelby County vote
dry and still retain the reputation
as one of the most active bootleg¬
ging counties in the state? This is
a question the good people of Shel¬
by should ask themselves. — Bir¬
mingham News.

COTTON GINNING REPORT

Census report shows that 890
bales of cotton were ginned in Shel¬
by County from the crop of 1940
prior to October 1, as compared with
1,601 bales for the crop of 1939, ac¬
cording to Gordon Mooney, special
agent of the Bureau of the Census,
Department of Commerce.

Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Russell had

Registration Day
Wednesday, October 16, will be
long remembered as the day when
our young men signed up for na¬
tional defense. It brings back to
mind the day in 1917 when we mar¬
shalled the country’s man power
for World War I. At that time we
did not think of doing it again in
the span of a life time. What do
you suppose will happen in another
25 years? Anyway, whatever it is,
many of us will not be here to worry
over it.

Community Fair

Ye are much enthused over the
Community Fair that is planned
at the high school for November
1 and 2. Together, with and as a
part of Montevallo’s “Let’s Get
Better Acquainted Celebration,”
we should have in the fair an event
that will do much lasting good. It
is hoped that everybody will fall
in with exhibits that will make a
good show" of what our people are
producing locally on our farms.
The high school faculty is taking on
a lot of work to put the fair over,
but it will be worth their trouble.

In a Fine Spirit
Impressive is the manner in
which Montevallo people have
proven their faith in the Commun¬
ity Chest. The solicitors who have
gathered in the subscriptions re¬
port that it is a pleasure to con¬
tact the subscribers and find such
a pleasant attitude. Well, it proves
again that folks feel good in the
discharge of a duty which they re¬
gard as their part of a worthwhile
program. Mr. L. W. Wooten has
given a fine demonstration of his
ability to organize and carry out
the subscription campaign. He is
pointed in his acclaim of the good
work of his solicitors and the very
fine response of everybody.

Girl Scout Week
Will Emphasize
Citizenship

The celebration of Girl Scout
Week, scheduled for October 27
through November 2, brings to a
climax an unusually busy and ex¬
citing autumn season for over half
a million seven-to-eighteen-year-
old girls throughout the United
•States. The organization of local
service bureaus as part of the na¬
tional program of coordination has
stimulated Girl Scouts to increased
participation not only in this speci¬
fic community service project, but
also in all Girl Scout activities
which can be turned to good ac¬
count in behalf of community and
national welfare.

The girls have found that cook¬
ing, crafts, training in cooperation,
knowledge of the out-of-doors, ini¬
tiative and ability in entertaining
children, understanding of the cus¬
toms and traits of other nationali¬
ties represented in their towns and
cities stand them in good stead in
their volunteer work which is rout¬
ed to them through the service bu¬
reaus. Reports from Girl Scout cen¬
ters in every state show that service
bureau work is well under way for
the Red Cross, hospitals, neighbor¬
hood houses, play grounds, libraries,
relief agencies' and welfare groups.

Girl Scout Week, divided into sev¬
en service days, each of which il¬
lustrates a phase of the Girl Scout
program of activities, provides a
special opportunity this year to
mark their value and timeliness.
Citizenship Day, which is tradition¬
ally devoted to dramatization of any
community service project under
way becomes this year the focal
point of the week’s celebration, to
which the other special service
days are directed and related.

Juliette Low, who founded Girl
Scouting in this country and whose
birthday on October 31 is observed
by the nation-wide celebration of
Girl Scout Week, envisioned the
movement as an opportunity for
girls to develop the skills, resources
and tastes which would make them
well-rounded, useful, intelligent
citizens. The culmination of activi¬
ties and the focusing of them upon
citizenship and .community service
in these times is a special tribute
this year to Mrs. Low’s foresight
and understanding.

“God Bless America”

Every Girl Scout and leader prob¬
ably knows by this time that the
royalties from Irving Berlin’s song,
“God Bless America,” are being di¬
vided between the Boy Scout and
Girl Scout organizations. When Mr.
Berlin decided to contribute the
proceeds from the song to a patri¬
otic purpose he established the
“God Bless America” Fund, to be
administered by Bayard Swope,
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, and
Gene Tunney, who were asked to
choose the beneficiaries. In an¬
nouncing the selection of the Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts, Mr. Swope
said that they were the most rep¬
resentative groups the trustees
could find of “non-sectarian, non¬
partisan, non-political, non-hyphe-

nated Americanism.”

Troop 2 Meeting

The Girl Scouts of Troop 2 met at
the Scout House Wednesday after¬
noon. The meeting consisted mostly
of making a freezer of ice cream
and eating it. The girls plan to work
on merit badges next week.

Mrs. Stabler, captain, and the
following -girls were present: Peggy
Davis, Mary Jean Kennerly, Fran¬
ces Nybeck, Sara Henry Reynolds,
Tootsie Clayton, Sarah Barr, Vir¬
ginia Bames, and Dama Wills.

VEGETABLES MAY BE PLANTED

Several vegetables may be plant¬
ed in October. Some of them are:
Early Egyptian and Detroit red
beets, Copenhagen market and flat
Dutch cabbage, Chantenay carrots,
Siberian kale, New York and im¬
perial 847 lettuce, prizetaker and
shallot onions, Thomas Laxton and
telephone English peas, icicle and

1940 Call for Red Cross Recruits

The 1940 Poster of The American Red Cross sounds the call to the nation
to serve humanity within the ranks of this army of mercy.

I^EEPING step with the hoys
^ called to the colors in Amer¬
ica’s new defense army and navy,
will be the American Red Cross,
fulfilling its mission of service to
the men in the line and to their
loved ones at home, Chairman Nor¬
man H. Davis announced in Wash¬
ington.

“Several thousand Red Cross
nurses already have been called to
the colors,” Mr. Davis said, .“and
Red Cross field directors, and thou¬
sands of Red Cross workers in
Chapters throughout the nation, are
ready to help America’s soldiers
and sailors with personal problems,
just as in the 1917-18 World War
period.

“Every patriotic man and woman
in the United States, who wants to
do his or her share in upholding the
national defense of our nation, can

do so by sharing in the vitally im¬
portant work of the Red Cross. Join
as a member of the local Chapter,
during the roll call, November 11
to 30, and through your support you
will strengthen the Red Cross army
of mercy.

“Recruits are needed not alone
as members, but also as volunteer
workers in the Red Cross Chap¬
ters.”

Red Cross work will continue
undiminished in its usual domestic
program of relief in disaster; com¬
munity public health nursing; safe¬
ty education and promotion of the
Junior Red Cross. An individual
membership supports all of this
work, not only in Red Cross Chap¬
ters, but in the nation. Relief to
war victims in Europe is financed
by the $20,000,000 war relief fund
contributed by the public during
the summer of 1940.

Quick Coffee Cake Fills Many a Bill

I F IT’S company that drops in for
overnight, or a case of wanting to
“treat” the family, a quick coffee
cake dresses up almost any break¬
fast.

When inspired to bake extra, but
time limits you, then the new self-
rising flour is a good friend. Baking
powder and salt are ready-mixed
into it and evenly, too, so your pre¬
cious time is saved. Just mix in fat,
sugar, egg and liquid, and the coffee
cake is ready for the oven.

But here is the exact recipe:

Quick Coffee Cake.

Cut or Tub 2 tablespoons fat into

2 cups self-rising flour. Beat 1 egg
with 3 tablespoons sugar, and add
to % cup milk. Add liquid to flour
mixture, and spread batter in
greased pan (layer should be %
inch thick). Cover with top mixture
and bake in hot oven (400 degrees
F.) about 15 minutes.

Top Mixture for Coffee Cake.

Rub 4 tablespoons butter into 1
tablespoon self-rising flour, % cup
sugar (confectioner’s or granulated),
and I teaspoon cinnamon. Press 2
dozen raisins into batter at regular
intervals, and sprinkle sugar mix¬
ture over top.

DO YOU KNOW NEW
MEAT COOKING TERMS?

Modem scientific cooks know
their words. They keep up with the
fast-growing list of special terms
used in cookery and know the dis¬
tinction between “panbroiling,”
“sauteing,” “frying,” and “brais¬
ing.”

“Panbroiling” is one way to cook
meat in a skillet on top of the stove.
But Mildred Simon, extension nu¬
tritionist, explains that the special
point about panbroiling is cooking
without added fat, without water,
and without a cover on the skillet.
It is the method to use for tender
chops and steaks that have fat of
their own and are quickly cooked.
Pour off the fat as it renders out,
so the meat will not be frying.

“Frying” is a different cooking
process. It means actually to cook
in fat. Sometimes the fat is deep
enough to cover the food entirely,
as in frying chicken or croquettes.
But you can also fry with shallow
fat in a skillet. Hash and meat pat¬
ties are good examples of shallow-
fat frying; and some meats, such as
sausages and bacon, fry in their
own fat.

“Sauteing” is another puzzler, all
the more confusing because it comes
from a French word meaning to
jump. Sauteing is a cross between
panbroiling and frying. It means
to brown the food in a little fat
and turn it often to keep it from
sticking.

The word “braising” comes up
again and again in meat cookery.
To braise means to brown in a little
hot fat, and then cook the meat
in steam—with or without added

liquid. Swiss steak and pot roast
are good examples. These cuts are
not so tender to start with, but,
properly braised, can be cut with
a fork when cooked.

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES, MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA

A. A. U. W. Held
Meeting Saturday
October 6

“This nation, through sacrifice
and work and unity, proposes to re¬
main free,” asserted Miss Martha
Enochs, director of the southeastern
central section of the American As¬
sociation of University Women at
the Alabama State Board meeting
in Auburn Saturday, October 6.

Miss Enochs stressed the impor¬
tance of service women may render
in a time of world crisis by promot¬
ing an informed public opinion. She
also urged support of the national
defense program, at the same time
warning the membership against
losing its active interest in social
and legislative issues, especially as
they affect this region.

Dr. Rosa Lee Walston, dean of
women at Alabama Polytechnic In¬
stitute, presided at the meeting in
her capacity as state president. Dr.
Walston opened the meeting, intro¬
ducing Dr. Luther N. Duncan, presi¬
dent of A. P. I., as the first speaker.

Dr. Duncan welcomed the board
to the Auburn campus telling them
of its long history in education for
women as well as men, and describ¬
ing the many improvements made
in the facilities offered to women
both in housing and classwork.

Reports followed from the chair¬
men in the fields of major interest
to the organization. Resolutions
were made and passed to continue
in the Joint Legislative Council for
the furtherance of good law-mak¬
ing and law-enforcing; to continue
building up the yearly contribution
to fellowships for women; encourag¬
ing research at a time when others
normally generous with their efforts
and financial support, are engrossed
in other problems, and to continue
lending active interest to the fields
of international relations, social
problems, legislation, education, and
the arts.

Dean Agnes Ellen Harris of the
University of Alabama, chairman
of national membership, outlined a
plan for building up the member¬
ship by enlarging the number of
nationally affiliated women in such
areas as are unable to organize a
local branch.

At 12:30 the board took recess in
order to accept the luncheon invi¬
tation tendered them by the School
of Home Economics. Fifty guests
sat down at the beautifully decorat¬
ed and perfectly appointed tables
in Smith Hall and enjoyed an elab¬
orate luncheon prepared by the stu¬
dents in home economics under the
direction of Miss Dana Gatchell.

The afternoon session was devoted
to reports from the following branch
presidents: Mrs. J. R. Jackson, Au¬
burn; Mrs. Frazier Banks, Birming¬
ham; Dr. Ethel Norton, Marion;
Mrs. Lester P. English, Mobile; Dr.
Katherine Vickery, Montevallo; Mrs.
Brevard Jones, Montgomery; Mrs.
J. R. Willims, Selma; Mrs. H. C.
Pannell, Tuscaloosa. In the absence
of their branch presidents, Dr.
Mary Renich reported for Athens,
and Dr. Eula Egan for Florence.

Reports were submitted by the
following: Dr. Ann Gary Pannel,
Tuscaloosa, vice-president and act¬
ing secretary; Mrs. M. H. Sterne,

Birmingham, treasurer; Mrs. R. E.
Tidwell, Tuscaloosa, fell o w s h i p
chairman; Miss Mary Moss Well¬
born, Auburn, international rela¬
tions chairman; Dr. Lois Ackerley,
Montevallo, chairman of economic
and legal status of women; Mrs.
Claire K. Grauel, Troy, chairman
on survey of education for women;
Mrs. Ben Thorpe, Birmingham, and
Mrs. Louis Ambler, Auburn, chair¬
men on publicity; Miss Catherine
Kennedy, Birmingham, state his¬
torian; Miss Agnes Ellen Harris,
Tuscaloosa, chairman on national
members; Miss Lillian Worley, Mon¬
tevallo, chairman of prison project;
Miss Mary Richeson, Florence,
chairman of education.

A committee on courtesies and
registration, consisting of Mrs. J. W.
Scott, chairman, and Mesdames S.
L. Toomer, J. C. Frink, and J. F.
Lecroy, all of Auburn, greeted the
members as they arrived. This com¬
mittee reported that all but two of
the 12 member branches were rep¬
resented, with the record of 6 from
Montevallo and 5 from Birming¬
ham.

8 Amendments
To Be Voted On
In State Nov. 5.

Only Two Proposals Are Of

State-Wide Interest; Others

Deal With Local Legislation

Eight proposed amendments to
the state constitution will be sub¬
mitted to the voters at the Novem¬
ber 5 general election. Little inter¬
est has been evidenced in any of the
proposals, some of which apply to
only a few counties. The first two
amendments for refinancing bonds
of the Alabama Bridge Commission
and the Alabama State Bridge Cor¬
poration have state-wide applica¬
tion.

The proposed amendments arc
as follows:

Amendment No. 1, to authorize
the state to issue not exceeding
$900,000 of bonds for the purpose of
retiring prior to maturity the bonds
of the Alabama Bridge Commission
which were outstanding on July 1,
1939.

Amendment No. 2, to authorize
the state to issue not exceeding
$5,000,000 of bonds for the purpose
of retiring prior to maturity the
bonds of the Alabama Bridge Au¬
thority and the Alabama State
Bridge corporation, Inc., outstand¬
ing on July 1, 1939.

Amendment No. 3, to authorize
the legislature to regulate and alter
the fees, commissions, allowances
and salaries of the tax collectors,
tax assessors, probate judges, cir¬
cuit clerks, sheriffs, and registers
of equity courts in Etowah and
Cherokfee Counties.

Amendment No. 4, to authorize
the legislature to fix the costs and
charges of courts, fees, commissions,
allowances, and salaries of Morgan
County officials.

Amendment No. 5, to authorize
the Court of County Commissioners
of Colbert County to divide the
county into drainage districts for
the control of malaria.

Amendment No. 6, to permit mun¬
icipalities in Alabama whose annual
ad valorem tax rate is otherwise

Under the Big Top
At Ringling Bros.
In Birmingham

With the most sensational mixed
groups of performing wild animals
ever seen in America—those of Eu¬
rope’s foremost trainer, Alfred
Court—the Ringling Bros, and Bar-
num and Bailey Circus will exhibit
in Birmingham Thursday, October
17. Its performance is further not¬
able by its new and fine array of
other super-features from the Con¬
tinent and countless innovations in
presentation.

Racing with Alfred Court for
peak honors in this thrilling Eu¬
ropean invasion is the new opening
spectacle, “The Return of Marco
Polo,” fashioned and costumed in
Paris by Max Yeldy, designer of
the Folies Bergere productions, at
a cost of over $80,000. This is the
last word in pageantry, its color
tones, gorgeously fantastic garb
and rich trappings are like nothing
ever seen in America before.

The newly-imported horse acts
for the Big Show—sixty-four mar¬
velously trained equines — brings
Europe’s most famous horsemen to
the world’s largest big top, now a
solid blue canvas, with its air con¬
ditioning perfected by a season’s
experimentation.

Scores of European headline
troupes and stars, headed by the
unparalleled Les Bretinis, Elly Ar-
delly, Truzzi, the Akimotos, Rola-
Rola, Adriana and Charlys and
Tanita Ioka, perform aloft and in
the rings with such favorites as
the Riding Cristianis, the three
Flying Concello troupes, Hubert

Farm Security
Administration

Now is the time of year for land¬
lords to be thinking about who will
farm their land during 1941, ac¬
cording to James N. Dennis, super¬
visor for the Farm Security Ad¬
ministration in Shelby County.

“There are a number of reasons
why a tenant, if he has been sat¬
isfactory, should be told at this
time he may continue on the farm
another year, or even longer,” Mr.
Dennis said. “Not the least reason
is that if the tenant knows he will
farm the same place next year it
is likely that he will plan cover
crops, or make other constructive
plans for next year, in time for them
to be effective.”

Because of the excessive cost of
annual moving to both tenants and
landlords, Supervisor Dennis said,
many land owners in Shelby Coun¬
ty are giving borrowers of the Farm
Security Administration leases of
from three to five years.

A check of the 126 families in
the county on the FSA reveals that
44 of them have leases of from three

to five years or written leases with,
renewal clauses. These leases are
helping the tenants save as much
as $50.00 a year each in moving
costs and are providing for more
stable type of land-use which bene¬
fits the landlord as well as the
tenant.

“Owners ought to be interested
enough to see that fertility is con¬
served and that land doesn’t erode,"
said Mr. Dennis. "Surveys have
shown,” he continued, “that owners
who give long-term leases' have
their farms in better shape and that
the improvements are in good con¬
dition. We have learned that if a
family knows in August or Septem-
ter that they will be on a farm the
next year or two, they will immed¬
iately take an interest in improv¬
ing the house and bam and use
better farming methods.

“All FSA borrowers use approved
farming methods under the guid¬
ance of the county supervisor. Ten¬
ants who move each year usually
mine the soil and leave it poorer
than before. A short term lease
doesn’t encourage a tenant to build
up land from which he received
sharply limited profit.”

Supervisor Dennis said that he
will be glad to explain the EISA's
flexible farm lease to owners who
are interested, In addition to sug¬
gesting early fall action on leasing
matters, he urged families who are
eligible for rehabilitation loans to
make their applications now so that
work of making farm and home
plans and other details may be
worked out in time to begin farm¬
ing early.

determined, in many instances, only
by a blood test.

Members of the Health Depart¬
ment will be at the places listed
below, at the time given, to make
these tests. Time at each place is
limited, therefore, registrants should

P. T. A. Program
Topic Is Recreation

The P. T. A. met Tuesday night
at 7:30 in the Elementary School
building.

The president, Mrs. F. H. Frost,
opened the meeting with the Lord’s
Prayer. After a short business ses¬
sion the meeting was turned over
to Misses Anne Walker and Jean-
netta Thomas, who were in charge
of the program. A very interesting
program on the amusements of
school age children and adults was
presented with Miss Eleanora Rey¬
nolds representing the children and
Mrs. J. S. Ward representing the
parents. Plans were laid for the
improvement of both elementary
and high school grounds. The or¬
ganization decided they would
rather be able to proudly say,
"That’s the play ground for our
children,’’ than just to say “That’s
the school grounds.”

Mrs. O. B. Cooper stressed the
subscription of the Parent-Teach¬
ers Magazine.

The Community Fair that is to
be held at the high school Novem¬
ber 2 was discussed. An invitation
is extended any person who wishes
to contribute any article to this
event. Blue ribbons will be given
for the first three prizes.

Freshman Play

(Continued from page 1)

is supplied to her by an ex-high
school classmate, Dorothy Jean
Roddy, who plays the role of Kate
Boyd. The ingenue has been sup¬
plied by Decatur in the person of
Betty Foster Pointer who plays
Ruby, Kate’s daughter. Ruby’s sis¬
ter, Hazel, a bright, excitable little
girl, is played by Jeanne Anderson
of Clayton, Alabama. Louisiana' has
sent two of the actors in men’s roles,
Sarah Marlette as Milton D’Arcy,
the successful young business man,
and Marjorie Yeutter as Phil Len¬
nox, the Boyd’s handy man.

From Montgomery comes the next
debutante, Ann Boyd, who plays
Aunt Meta Trimble, but not for the
first time, as she acted the same
role last spring in the senior clasi
play at Sidney Lanier High School
Ann’s greatest trouble, she says, i:
trying not to play it the same way
as before, but with a new approach.

Laura Watson as the Old Princess,
Dorothy Dunn as Joe Boyd, Kate’s
husband, and Eloise Shores, Nell
Hodges, Elizabeth Dubberly, Fran¬
ces Waters, Carolyn Hancock, and
Marie Holliman as neighbors and
servants round out our cast of de¬
butantes. A sixteenth member,
Phyllis Korth, is a second semester
freshman and was seen last year in
the production of “Dr. Knock.”

What our neophytes have been
able to accomplish will be revealed
on October 23, when the curtain
rises on "Once There Was a Prin¬
cess,” the story of a blitzkrieg tha
ended far differently from the wa;
it began.

Montevallo Loses
To Centreville

The Montevallo Bulldogs were de¬
feated Friday night, October 11, by
a strong Centreville eleven, 32 to 7.

Bibb County scored twice in the
first half as Montevallo was held
scoreless. During the second half
Montevallo pushed across the only
touchdown scored against Centre¬
ville this year. Cecil Dennis shot
a bullet-like pass to C. P. Harrel,
who gathered it in and lumbered
across the goal line. Harrel was also
a standout on defense. Bibb County
scored three times in this half,
showing a pack of power.

The recently organized Pep Band
of Montevallo High School, with
the cooperation of Mr. W. F. Tid¬
well nd Mr. York Kildea, attended
the game. Some of the marches
they played were Military Escort,
Seventh Regiment, Eastern Star
and Forward. The pep and spirit
which they contributed was appre¬
ciated by everyone.

Montevallo will journey to Vin¬
cent Friday, October 18. The start¬
ing whistle will blow at 1 o’clock.

CIRCLE NO. 1 MEETS WITH
MRS. APPLETON

Circle No. 1 of the Women’s So¬
ciety for Christian Service held its
first meeting of the fall Monday af¬
ternoon at the home of Mrs. J. L.
Appleton, with Mrs. L. C. Parnell
as co-hostess.

Mrs. Parnell, circle leader, called
the meeting to order and presided
during the brief business session.
Several plans for the work of the
circle during the remainder of this
calendar year were discussed. Mrs.
J. B. Higgins had charge of the
program, assisted by Mrs. H. K.
Barr and Mrs. J. H. Henning.

The program subject was “Shar¬
ing Possessions.” Through the de¬
velopment of the program, more
definite information was given re¬
garding the nature and location of
Christian centers throughout the
world, the heritage we have receiv¬
ed, and the responsibility which
rests upon each of us in continuing
our efforts and building upon the
accomplishments of the past.

Following the program, delightful
refreshments were served by the
hostesses and a pleasant social per¬
iod was enjoyed by the thirteen
members present.

Montevallo

Scouts Conclude
Fund Campaign

The campaign for Boy Scout
funds in Montevallo has been con¬
ducted this week to be concluded
Wednesday. No final report Is yet
available, but indications are that
the subscription of our citizens will
be generous.

Under the Boy Scout constitution,
all money raised by this canvass,
will be spent by the Black Warrior
Council.

Since a debt was owed on the
cabin, it has been necessary in the
past to raise money to apply on
this debt. Consequently, all money
allocated by the Community Chest
could not be turned over to the
Black Warrior Council.

The Council has protested for
several years the raising of funds
in the name of Boy Scouts and
spending such funds locally. The
capital debt of $150 on the cabin
has been assumed by the Black
Warrior Council in order to clear
away this difficulty and place
Scout financing in Montevallo on
a constitutional basis.

How does the . Black Warrior
Council spend the money raised for
Boy Scouts in the Council area?

The money is used for the forma¬
tion of new Scout troops and the
development of troops already or¬
ganized. About two-thirds of the
money is spent for salaries and ex¬
penses of trained Scout officials
who work all over the Council area.
The remaining funds are spent for
literature, office suplies, council
camp, etc.

More money than we give to
Scouting is put back into this area.
If the budget of $16,000 is raised this
year in the Council, a trained
Scout worker will be engaged in
Shelby and Bibb Counties.

Auxiliary Holds
Fifth District
Meeting Here

Local Unit Plays Hostess To
Eighty-Five Delegates; State
Officers Attend Session

To the tune of the “Star-Spangl¬
ed Banner,” emphasizing the theme
Americanism, the fifth district of
the Alabama American Legion Aux¬
iliary held its fall convention in
Montevallo. The Montevallo unit,
under the leadership of Mrs. P. D.
Pendleton, president, played hostess
to 83 delegates from the Bessemer, j
Central Park, General Gorgas, Gen¬
eral Bare, Homewood, Fairfield,
North Jefferson, and Calera units.

The morning meeting convened in
the Baptist Church and was con¬
cerned with recognition of officers
and delegates, as well as with busi¬
ness. Mrs. Pendleton’s welcome to
the delegates was responded to by
Mrs. M. P. Jeter, chairman of the
hostess committee. After the in¬
vocation by Mrs. J. E. Summerville
and the singing of the national an¬
them, the meeting was officially
opened.

Committee Chairmen

Mrs. Gandy, district director, pre¬
sided and pre$fented the following
committee chairmen: Registration,
Mrs. P. D. Pendleton; credentials,
Mrs. W. L. Hall; rules, Mrs. L. H.
Gilley; resolutions, Mrs. Floyd
Downing; publicity, Mrs. C. O. El¬
lis; sergeant-at-arms, Mrs. Earl
Jones. The climax of this morning
meeting was an address by the state
president, Mrs. E. L. McBride, of
Talladega. The keynote of this
speech was the statement that in
such times as the present a patriotic
society like the Legion Auxiliary is
one of the great instruments in
the saving of democracy.

Mrs. Gandy then presented the
boys’ glee club of Montevallo High
School, under the direction of Mrs.
Josephine Waller. Their program
included songs of the sea, a Negro
spiritual, three fun songs, and con¬
cluded with “I Am An American.”
During this program a violin solo,
“Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve
Seen,” was rendered by Margaret
Bickler; and two patriotic vocal
solos by Wayne Villadsen, both of
Montevallo High School.

Luncheon

Following this musical interlude,
the convention adjourned to re¬
assemble immediately at the Meth¬
odist Church for luncheon Climax¬
ing the luncheon was a solo, “We
Love America,” by Mrs. Phillip Be¬
thea. It was commented that this
song is the state junior theme song
and was composed by Mrs. Hester
Wofford, a teacher in Phillips High
school, Birmingham.

After introduction of the depart¬
ment officers, brief informal reports
by those attending the national
convention in Boston were given.
Introduction of Auxiliary presidents,
who in turn introduced their dele¬
gates, then followed. Reports of the
district committees followed: Music,
Mrs. Trotter Jones; defense, Mrs.
Salter; publicity, Mrs. C. O. Ellis;

awards, Mrs. Stein. The courtesy
committee' then read resolutions to

ca.

ALDRICH STUDY CLUB MEETS

The Aldrich Study Club held its
irst fall meeting Wednesday at
he home of Mrs. E. V. Smith.

During the business session, of-
icers for the coming year were
lected. They are, president, Mrs.
Com McGaughy; vice - president,
Jrs. P. N. Lee; secretary-treasurer,
Jrs. Wheeler Harmon; parliamen-
arian, Mrs. Edward Craig.

Other members present were
tlesdames Ada Pruitt, D. W- Carr,
V. S. Coats, L. Calfee, and Dalton
71 inner.

C. S. Keller, publisher of the
Abbeville Herald for the past
five years and prior to that
county agent of Henry County,
has assumed his new duties as
managing director of the Ala¬
bama Chain Stores Council.
Mr. Keller will devote a large
portion of his time to assisting
Alabama farmers find wider
and better markets for their
products.

College Places All
Graduates Of 1940

Of the 1940 graduates who regis¬
tered with the Alabama College
Placement Bureau, all were placed
with the exception of one who mar¬
ried after enrollment and one who
decided to attend graduate school.

Mr. A. C. Anderson, director of
the Placement Bureau, said that
one of the features of his yearly
report would be a decided increase
in the number or graduates placed
in non-teaching positions. While a
majority of those registering are
teaching in Alabama schools and
those in adjoining states, a larger
number this year are working witn
such agencies as the,Farm Security
Administration, the TVA, as librar¬
ians, in the state health laboratories,
in civil service work, as home dem¬
onstration workers, and as recrea¬
tion supervisors. He points out that
there was a gain over the average
for the past three years in requests
for teachers. There was a heavy in¬
crease in requests for teachers of
single subjects, and a decrease in
the number of requests for teach¬
ers of a combination of subjects.

Subjects for which there was the
keenest demand for teachers in¬
clude home economics, physical edu¬
cation, secretarial science, music,
English, science, mathematics,
speech, history, art, and foreign
languages in the order named. Ac¬
cording to Mr. Anderson’s yearly
report, there has been a decrease
of 11 per cent in the percentage of
graduates qualifying for teachers’
certificates. The geographical dis¬
tribution of 1940 graduates shows
that they are now employed in
practically every Alabama county.

MISS SARANEL CARTER AND
MR. OZLEY ARE MARRIED

The Columbiana Methodist
Church was the scene for the wed¬
ding of Miss Saranel Carter and
Mr. Richard Ozley. The ceremony
was performed before an altar be¬
decked with standards of white
gladioli and pon-pon chrysanthe¬
mums, ferns, smilax and seven-
stick candelabra. Rev. J. L. Hall¬
mark read the service.

The nuptial music was given by
R. e. Mills of Gadsden, who sang,
accompanied by Miss Bess Rice.

For her wedding, the bride chose
a teal blue ensemble with Indian
penny accents. Her flowers were an
arm bouquet of talisman roses and
valley lilies. She was given in mar¬
riage by her brother, Mr. Rux Car¬
ter, of Birmingham. Her only at¬
tendant was Miss Jeannette Niven,
who wsa dressed in black. Mr. Oz-
ley’s best man was Gray Goodwin.

Results Of Boy
Scout Campaign
Are Satisfactory

Beginning on Monday, October
14, and continuing until Saturday,
October 19, the drive for contribu¬
tions for the Black Warrior Coun¬
cil, Boy Scouts of America, was one
of the most successful drives ever
made in Montevallo. Mr. A. C. And¬
erson, chairman of the drive, says
the response has been enthusiastic
and generous.

He says further that there is no
doubt as to how this community
feels about the Boy Scout program.
At least 90 per cent of those who
were approached made some con¬
tribution. There were a large num¬
ber of small contributions and a
good many larger ones. These total¬
ed about $220.00. The funds raised
are to be used to employ additional
specialists to work with Boy Scouts
in this community and county.

As chairman of the drive, Mr.
Anderson wishes to express his ap¬
preciation to all who have contrib¬
uted and who have cooperated in
making this a successful undertak¬
ing, particularly Mr. W. F. Tidwell,
vice-chairman of the committee;
Dr. M. L. Orr, district finance
chairman; and the members of the
soliciting committee. This commit¬
tee was composed of the following
people: J. L. Appleton, W. F. Tid¬
well, Mrs. Murray Fancher, Leon
Hicks, Mrs. Josephine Waller, Miss
Olivia Lawson, Dr. E. Reinke, T. E.
Watson, Joe Klotzman, Charles
Mahaffey, E. G. Mahaffey, J. T.

Wed in Columbiana

Miss Mary Tom Goodwin and
Victor Milstead were united in
marriage Sunday morning, October
13, at the home of the bride’s
mother, Mrs. Charlie Goodwin, of
Columbiana.

The ceremony was performed be¬
fore an altar of tall baskets of fall
flowers and ferns. ^Mrs. Felton
Goodwin played the nuptial music.
She played "Traumeri” and “To a
Wild Rose” during the ceremony
and as the wedding party left the
room, Mendelsohn’s “Wedding
March” was played.

A costume of soldier blue with du-
bonnet accessories was chosen by
the bride. Her flowers were a cor¬
sage of gardenias. Mrs. Goodwin
wore black silk jersey. Her flowers
were a corsage of roses and carna¬
tions.

The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Charlie Goodwin and the late Char¬
lie Goodwin.

Mr. Milstead is a resident of

DR. J. DUNCAN SPAETH

Dr. Duncan Spaeth
Replaces Phelps
On Lecture Series

Pinch-hitting for Dr. William
Lyon Phelps on October 30 at Ala¬
bama College will be Dr. J. Dun¬
can Spaeth, who replaced Dr.
Phelps on the Concert and Lecture
Series when it became known that
Dr. Phelps would not be able to
make his. Southern tour until next
spring. According to the new sched¬
ule, announced by Mr. J. H. Hen¬
ning, chairman of the Concert and
lecture Committee, the new date
for Dr. Phelps is March 7, 1941.

With a national reputation in
his own right, Dr. Spaeth’s color¬
ful background makes him an ap¬
pealing figure on the lecture plat¬
form. During the 30 years he was
professor of English at Princeton,
he was also coach of the rowing
crew and a colleague of Woodrow
Wilson.

In his varied career Dr. Spaeth
has served as president of the Uni¬
versity of Kansas City and at such
other institutions as the University
of Oregon, the University of Cali¬
fornia, the University of Colorado,
and the Utah Agricultural College.
A sizable portion of Dr. Spaeth’s
fame is accounted for by his thor¬
ough acquaintance with and bril¬
liant interpretations of Shakespeare.

Dr. Spaeth received his doctorate
of philosophy at Leipzig, Germany,
48 years ago.

Jeanne Appleton Is
Severely Burned

Miss Jeanne Appleton was car¬
ried to Norwood Hospital Monday
morning suffering from severe
bums received when her nightgown
caught fire from an open grate at
her home.

Quick thinking and calmness re¬
tarded the spread of the flame. Miss
Appleton, realizing her clothing was
afire, fell to the floor and rolled
on a rug. With the aid of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Apple-
ton, she was able to extinguish the
flame before it reached her face
and head. Mr.’ Appleton received
severe burns on both hands, and
Mrs. Appleton’s left hand was badly
burned.

Miss Appleton is a junior at Ala¬
bama College and is managing
editor of the college paper. The
Alabamian. Her condition is said
to be satisfactory.

Soil Program Would Include
Shelby and Several Other
Counties In This Territory

Land owners will decide through
a referendum on October 26 wheth¬
er or not the proposed North Cen¬
tral Soil Conservation District is
created.

If this district is created, a soil
conservation program involving im¬
provements in the cropping system,
some changes in land use and prop¬
er management of pastures and
woodland, as well as terracing, will
be put into operation. In other
words, the program aims to attack
the forces of erosion from all angles.
Heretofore, the control of erosion
has been centered chiefly around
terracing. While terracing is a fun¬
damental erosion control measure, it
is now known that terraces alone
have failed to do the job. Empha¬
sis will be placed on vegetation as
a means of controlling erosion.
Mechanical measures, such as ter¬
races, meadow outlets, gully plant¬
ings, diversion ditches, etc., will be
used to supplement and support
vegetative cover.

One of the major causes of
erosion in Alabama is the cropping
system so generally practiced. Cot¬
ton, com and other clean-tilled,
row crops, all of which axe condu¬
cive to erosion, take up over three-
fourths of our total crop land.

With so much land plowed regu¬
larly and kept free of protective
vegetation in a section with high
average rainfall and very erosible
soils, it is no wonder erosion has
taken such a heavy toll of our soil
resources.

One of the important phases of
the soil conservation program will
be the development of cropping
systems with a smaller proportion
of clean-tilled crops and more pro¬
tection with thick growing vege¬
tation. One of the aims in the dis¬
trict will be to secure the adoption
of a cropping system that will pro¬
vide all crop land with a cover of
trick growing crops at least half of
the time.

Permanent hay crops will be ad¬
vised in preference to those re-

Wednesday afternoon the Girl
Scouts of Troop 2 met at the Scout
House. Frances Nybeck an<f Vir¬
ginia Bames were elected patrol
leaders. Then they drew slips of
paper to select the girls to go in
their patrols.

The main part of the meeting
was spent in talkmg about a Christ¬
mas toy project. This troop has de¬
cided to start next week and fix
up as many toys as they can get
together. If any people in the com¬
munity have toys they would like
to contribute, the girls will certainly
appreciate them.

The troop has two new lieuten¬
ants who are Alabama College stu¬
dents, Misses Marion Simpler and
Barbara Ames. The Scouts are glad
to have these leaders and feel sure
that these girls and Mrs. Stabler
will be able to do a lot of worth¬
while work.

Mrs. Stabler and the following
girls were present: Mary Jean Ken-
nerly, Tootsie Clayton, Sarah Barr,
Mayo Baker, Peggy Davis, Fran¬
ces Nybeck, Sara Henry Reynolds,
Virginia Bames, Pat Weems, Fran¬
ces Woods, and Dama Wills.

Miss Melvyn Stephens has ac¬
cepted a position with the Stock-
ham Pipe and Fitting Co. in Bir¬
mingham.

(Continued from page 1)
quiring annual preparation of the
soil, such as soybeans, cowpeas,
etc. The use of more small grain
as a substitute for some of the
com 'and a greater use of perennial
legume hay instead of corn fodder
will be encouraged.

The practice of rotating crops,
especially rotating clean-tilled crops
with thick growing crops, will also
be encouraged. Suitable rotations
will be planned for individual farms
so as to provide ample feed for the
farm livestock, as well as to give
maximum protection with thick
growing crops. In doing this, the
maximum use will be made of both
winter and summer legumes, oats,
etc.

Diverting the steep slopes from
cultivated crops to permanent, thick
growing vegetation, such as lespe-
deza sericea and kudzu, will also
be emphasized. The badly eroded
areas will be reforested with pine.

Another important phase of the
program will be that of permanent
pasture development. On the maj¬
ority of farms, there are areas of
bottom land now wooded or grown
up in elders, willows, etc., which if
cleared, would make excellent pas¬
ture land. Wherever possible, farm¬
ers will be encouraged to take erod¬
ed hill land out of pasture and
clear up, fertilize and seed to pas¬
ture the more suitable bottom land.

Since more than two-thirds of
the total area of the proposed dis¬
trict is woodland, farm forestry
will certainly receive no little em¬
phasis. A program of woods fire
prevention, timber stand improve¬
ment and reforestation will be de¬
veloped and carried to land owners,
and assistance given in carrying
them out.

It is now being realized that the
most sensible approach to the ero¬

Trade Expansion Celebration Continues Through Week

Shelby Voters Will Have
Full Range Of Choice
In Election On Next Tuesday

High School Building Filled
To Capacity With Exhibits

Whatever your political desires
may be, you will have a full field
to choose from when you go to the
polls to cast your ballot in the gen¬
eral election next Tuesday.

First of all, you will be permitted
to take your choice in the nation¬
wide scramble for President of the
United States. It may be Mr. Roose¬
velt for a third term or Mr. Willkie,
the flashful and “cursading” chal¬
lenger under the Republican em¬
blem. If you do not relish one of
these, you can go farther afield and
choose between the lesser lights
who are candidates of the Socialist,
Communist, or Prohibition Parties.

Coming on down the list of can¬
didates, you may have your choice
between Republicans and Demo¬
crats for the county offices.

Probate Judge L. C. Walker, Dem¬
ocrat, is opposed by Republican A.
B. Baxley, who has for a long time
been Mayor of Calera.

Circuit Clerk L. Gerald Fulton,
Democrat, is opposed by Roy Moore,
Republican.

Board of Revenue

In District 1, the Democratic can¬
didate is Hoyt Blalock and his Re¬
publican opponent is John Hughes.
In District 3 the Democratic incum¬
bent, T. R. Nash, is opposed by Re¬
publican O. E. Cox.

For two members of the Board
of Education the Democrats offer
Robert L. Holcombe and M. P.
Jeter. Opposing them the Republi¬
cans offer R. D. Crim and Ira Shar-
butt.

State Candidates

Of course, in between the national
and county candidates the ticket
will carry several candidates for
state offices. Among these are two
Shelby County favorites who are
carrying the Democratic standard
without opposition. They are Pete
Jarman for Congress and Hon. W.
W. Wallace for Circuit Judge.

So there you are, Mr. Voter. You
can take your choice next Tues¬
day.

President To Make

Between now and the general
election on Tuesday, November 5,

College Step Singing
To Be Broadcast

At 9:30 tonight the girls at Ala¬
bama College will take part in the
first step singing broadcast of the
year over Radio Station WAPI.
There will be a number of such
broadcasts this year, according to
Miss Nora Landmark, radio special¬
ist of the college.

Several generations of Montevallo
girls have been accustomed to gath¬
ering on the steps of Main Dormi¬
tory where one of their number
leads an informal song-fest. Now
parents, friends, and kinfolk all over
Alabama will be privileged to listen
in.

On Thursday, December 19, at
9:30 p.m., WAPI, Birmingham, will
broadcast the second step singing
program as a chorus of nearly one
thousand girlish voices are raised in
songs both old and new.

Chest Goal Reached
On hast Triday

The Montevallo Community
Chest drive was completed and sub¬
scriptions went over the goal line
on October 25, according to an¬
nouncement of Mr. L. W. Wooten,
chairman of the solicitation cam¬
paign.

Expressing what is the universal
pride of our people in this achieve¬
ment, Mr. Wooten gave The Times
the following statement this week:

“There is no wonder that Monte¬
vallo is known as a good place to
live. When a Community Chest
drive can be completed in 15 days,
that'shows a.very fine community
spirit and tells the story much bet¬
ter than it could be told in any
other way of the high type of citi¬
zenship that comprises this com¬
munity. There was only a very few
who did not do their part.

It is especially gratifying the way
the busy men and women who com¬
posed the solicitation teams went
about their jobs and stayed with
them until the goal was reached.

“We know that everyone who had
a part in this fine piece of com¬
munity achievement will be happier
for having done his or her part.”

Farmers Preparing
Land For Pasture

farmers are now preparing lands for
seeding to pasture grasses and clov¬
er next spring, reports J. C. Lowery,
extension agronomist.

“They have found it best to thor¬
oughly plow the land and to disc
the phosphate and lime into the
soil several weeks prior to planting
in order to have a firm seed bed,"
he says. “The land is prepared in
the fall and freshened with a har¬
row just before sowing the seed.”

Lowery recommends that the land
be fertilized with a ton of basic
slag or pulverized limestone and
1,000 pounds of superphosphate per
acre. Farmers who do not wish to
apply this much basic slag and
superphosphate may use an annual
aplication of 500 pounds of pulver¬
ized limestone.

“Moist branch bottoms now oc¬
cupied by bushes and trees could
be changed into productive land by
clearing and establishing permanent
pastures on them,” Lowery says.

“The importance of farmers grow¬
ing more pastures is indicated in a
survey revealing that cattle receive
a third of their feedi from pastures
at one-seventh of the total feed
costs.

“Pastures are the basis of any
livestock program since the most
economical feed is that harvested
by animals themselves.”

Power Company
Pays Kilowatt Tax

Birmingham, Ala. -— Thomas W.
Martin, president of Alabama Pow¬
er Company, today forwarded a
check to the tax officials at Mont¬
gomery for $347,263.68 in payment
of the company’s hydro-electric
kilowatt hour tax. This amount goes
into the special educational trust
fund of Alabama and will be devot¬
ed to educational purposes. Each of
Alabama’s 67 counties participates
and 13 counties will receive over
five thousand dollars each for high
schools and elementary schools,
based on the 1939 disbursements of
the State Board of Education.

The higher institutions of learn¬
ing in the state will participate in
the fund as follows: Alabama Poly¬
technic Institute $30,570.36; Univ¬
ersity of Alabama, $17,353.40; Ala¬
bama College, $9,085; State Teach¬
ers Colleges at Florence, Jackson¬
ville, Livingston, Troy, Montgomery,
and Daphne will receive a total of
$17,201.00; A. & M. Institute, $721.00;
Alabama School of Trades, $1,442.

President Martin, in commenting
on this payment, called attention
to the fact that it represented only
a part of Alabama Power Company
taxes for 1940; total taxes for 1940
being estimated at approximately
$3,500,000. He further stated:

“Over one million dollars of the
total amount of taxes paid to the
State of Alabama by the company
goes directly into specific school
funds. This is equivalent to approx¬
imately $65.00 for each school teach¬
er in the state and represents over
8 per cent of their total annual
salary.”

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES, MONTEVAIAO, ALABAMA

ROOTED TOO DEEP

Vote No On Amendment No. 2

School people of Alabama advise the voters of the state to vote against
proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 2 in the general election next
Tuesday. It is stated that this proposal would abolish the Public Schools
Corporation and substitute in its place a pfan which would destroy most
of the Public Schools Corporation.

H. G. Greer, president of the Alabama Association of School Admin¬
istrators, points out the following undesirable and dangerous features of
the proposed Admendment No. 2:

“This proposed (and in our opinion unwise) constitutional amendment
gives the Governor the power to Secure loans for anyj state purpose and
to pledge therefor the entire revenues of the state. This means, for in¬
stance, that the amendment gives the Governor the authority to borrow
money for the Highway Department and to repay the loan from the
school funds, or vice versa. Our neighbor, the State of Georgia, has had
some very sad experiences resulting from a similar executive power. With
the right kind of Governor in the executive chair, such as we have been
fortunate enough to have in Alabama, the dangers from such a consti¬
tutional provision would not perhaps be so great. If this proposed amend¬
ment is adopted, however, the way would be open for an unscrupulous
Governor to divert school funds, highway funds, or any other of the state
funds. Why risk the danger of putting such a provision in our basic laws?”

Governor Dixon has announced his opposition to Amendment No. 2.

Women In State Government

Woman’s place may be in the home, as the old timers were wont to
say, but it has been demonstrated innumerable' times that woman not
only is a proficient homemaker but that she is capable of doing almost
anything that a man can do and do it as well. Women are now high up
in medicine, law, industry, commerce, finance, they are publishing news¬
papers and in some parts of thei world they have proved their worth as
soldiers.

It is interesting to note that four of the most important positions in
the state government now are held by women, Mrs. Marie Bankhead
Owen has long been director of the State Department of Archives and
History. She holds her office by elction of a board, as does Miss Loula
Dunn. Two women were appointed to high official place by Governor
Diron. They are Mb. Edwina Mitchell, member of the Board of Par¬
dons and Paroles, and now Miss Addie Lee Farish, director of the
Department of Commerce. Miss Dunn is director of the Department
of Welfare.

All of these public servants are distinguished for their brains and
executive ability. All of them are especially well fitted to perform the
duties of their offices.

The appointment yesterday of Miss Farish as director of the De¬
partment of Commerce is recognition by promotion of a career woman.
Miss Farish has long been recognized as a thorough-going bank examiner
and in recent years has been deputy bank superintendent. She has a pro¬
fessional knowledge of banking and banking laws which equip her to di¬
rect the Department of Commerce. Her appointment will be well received
,by all who have knowledge of Miss Farish’s capacities.—Montgomery Ad¬
vertiser.

FARMERS ADVISED TO
GROW MORE WHEAT

Auburn, Ala.—J. C. Lowery, ex¬
tension agronomist, is advocating
that Alabama farmers plant more
wheat for clour, grazing, erosion
control and hay.

“The Piedmont, Limestone Val¬
leys and other heavier soils in the
state are well adapted to wheat pro¬
duction,” he says.

From four to six pecks of wheat
should be planted per acre before
November 15. Bluestem varieties
such as Alabama, Gasta or Purple
Straw are recommended.

If the land was not liberally fer¬
tilized for the previous crop, the
wheat should be fertilized with 400
pounds of superphosphate and 50
pounds of muriate of potash at

planting and top-dress with 24 to
36 pounds of nitrogen about the
first of March.

Stinking smut may be controlled
by mixing with each bushel of seed
wheat two and a half ounces of
copper carbonate with a rotating
machine, a barrel mixer or a barrel
churn, or use mercury dust accord¬
ing to manufacturer’s instructions.

Loose smut may be controlled as
follows: Fill a bag half full of seed
and tie the top of the bag. Soak
the seed’ for four hours in cold
water. Have two large tubs of water
heated, one to 120 degrees and the
other to 129 degrees Farenheit.

Dip soaked seed in tub of water
at 120 degrees for a few minutes,
then place in the second tub of
water at 129 degrees for 10 minutes.
Spread in a thin layer until dry.

Farm- City
Relationships

Alabama College, the State Col¬
lege for Women at Montevallo, this
week added to a long list of notable
contributions by publishing “Ala¬
bama Rural Communities—a Study
of Chilton County.” By encourag¬
ing such work at Alabama College,
President A. F. Harman has built
the institution’s prestige on a na¬
tional scale, and has increased his
own stature as a distinguished Ala¬
bama educator. Vision for this Chil¬
ton County study was supplied by
Dr. Irwin T. Sanders, young profes¬
sor of sociology at Alabama Col¬
lege, who was assisted by Douglas
Ensminger, social scientist of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Their little book of eighty pages
is an attractive and a valuable ad¬
dition to Alabamiana.

Noting the success of Clanton,
principal town of Chilton County,
in making itself the trading cen¬
ter for a broad area, the authors
make the following observations
which, we believe, have significance
for the people of Anniston:

How has Clanton been so suc¬
cessful in attracting these forty
neighborhoods to itself? Clan¬
ton, of course, is a county seat,
but many county seats in neigh¬
boring counties, despite politi¬
cal advantages and central
locations, have not grown like
Clanton. This leads to a con¬
sideration of farm-village rela¬
tionships.

In the first place, the farm¬
ers’ connections with Clanton
are primarily commercial. There
is little social participation on
the part of rural people in the
town organizations, but over a
period of years the rural people
have formed the habit of going
to town whenever they felt the
desire to go anywhere. It is this
Clanton-going habit, this desire
“to see and be seen,” that links
the distant neighborhoods with
Clanton.

In the second place, there is a
difference of opinion among Clan¬
ton leaders as to farm-village rela¬
tionships, though concensus is that
the situation is not yet what it
should be but is steadily growing
better. The reasons most often given
for the more friendly contacts are
two-fold: First, the county is evenly
divided between two political par¬
ties, thus making it necessary for
politicians really to go out of town
and “shake hands.-for votes;” and
secondly, the Kiwanis Club. This or¬
ganization takes from 50 to 300
farmers to Auburn every year to
visit the State College of Agricul¬
ture; it holds meetings out in the
various neighborhoods where each
Kiwanian invites a farmer as guest
and pays for two dinners, the money
going to the cause supported by the
local women serving the lunch.
The County Fair held each year at
the Clanton Airport attracts 12,000
paid admissions. The Mayor of
Clanton insists in all his talks of
dedication and welcome that “Clan¬
ton needs the country people and
the .county people need Clanton;
that the larger Clanton gets the
more taxes they will have to build
good roads and schools in the
country.”

Much of this program might well
be studied by Anniston’s leadership.
This newspaper continues to believe
that our permanent prosperity de¬
pends upon prosperity for Calhoun
County farmers, and upon their
friendship for this city.—Anniston
Times.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Mr. Davis will preach at the Sun¬
day morning service on the subject,
“No Reduction in the Wages' of
Sin.”

Mr. Stabler will lead a discussion
at the Presbyterian Student Asso¬
ciation meeting at 7 o’clock on the
subject, “Christian Youth and Poli¬
tics.” This is a very important sub¬
ject to come at this time when we
are thinking so much about the pol¬
itical affairs in our country.

Mrs. T. D. Hill of Bessemer was
the week end guest of Mrs. P. E.

Comment of Congressman Pete Jarman
Relative To the Election Tuesday

With the approach of the national
election, I regard it as a duty which
it affords me unusual pleasure to
perform to call the attention of the
fine people who read the Times to
what I regard as the desirability of
a Democratic victory.

It matters not whether we agree
with everything the present admin¬
istration has done, whether we felt
before the Chicago Convention that
the tradition against a third term
should not be broken, or whether we
are dyed in the wool New Dealers;
I am convinced that it is to our
best interest, not only in the South,
but throughout the nation, to re¬
tain the Democratic Party in power
with President Roosevelt at the
helm.

It is entirely possible, although
we all sincerely hope it will not oc¬
cur, that we will be confronted in
the immediate future with the most
serious and dangerous time in the
history of America, not excluding
the World War period. Certainly
this possibility off-sets any senti¬
ment against a third term and tells
us of the absolute necessity of re¬
taining in power during such a cru¬
cial time one with practical exper¬
ience in government and particular¬
ly in foreign affairs. There has cer¬
tainly never been a period in our
history when the adage about;
changing horses in the middle of the
stream was more appropriate.

In view of the general situation,
the entire world looks to America
at this moment, and I am very
much afraid of the result of the
opinion which might be created in
the minds of foreign powers should
President Roosevelt by any chance
be defeated. This being true, it
seems to me that this 1 election pre¬
sents a matter, not only of party
loyalty, not only of national loyal¬
ty, but possibly of patriotism and
of self defense even in the personal,
selfish sense of that expression.

President Roosevelt and the Dem-
cratic congressmen have exerted,
and will continue to exert, every
possible effort toward keeping us
out of war, and toward the defense
of America should one come to our
shores. This being true, this is cer¬
tainly no time lor embarrassing
political sharp-shooting at our pub¬
lic officials, or for changing any of
the experienced ones merely because
of the ambition of someone who,
without any experience ■ whatever in
public affairs, egotistically thinks
he would make a good public offi¬
cial.

There has never been the slightest;
doubt of the outcome in my mind

since I heard Mr. Willkie’s accept¬
ance speech. There was, of course,
no doubt prior thereto of the out¬
come in Alabama. Even the size of
the vote, however, might be viewed
with significance by foreign powers
as a yardstick of the solidarity of
America. Consequently, it behooves
us to bring this Democratic vote to
mountainous proportions. There
being no contest in Shelby County,
the great and only danger is the
failure of many of our good people
to vote.

Let us all make it our business
from now until the election to urge
each person with whom we. come in
contact not to forget the perform¬
ance of this public duty on Novem¬
ber 5. Each man and woman should,
of course, vote his or her convic¬
tion, but it is the duty cf each of
us to exercise this free and un¬
trammeled franchise which privi¬
lege does not now exist in so many
countries. I am convinced that its
general exercise will result in 'SK"
overwhelming vote of confidence in
Democracy.

Sectional Issues
Raised by Willkie
Charges Dixon

Montgomery, Ala.—Gov. Frank M.
Dixon, in an address broadcast Sat¬
urday evening at Montgomery over
a state-wide radio hookup, declared
that Wendell L. Willkie, Republican
nominee for President of the United
States, has made it impossible for
those who know the true picture of
the South tq support him.

The chief executive, speaking on
behalf and in support of the Demo¬
cratic ticket in Alabama, charged
that in a speech delivered at Fall
River, Mass., reported in the daily
press on October II, the Republican
nominee injected a sectional issue
into the campaign. Mr. Willkie did
this, he said, by comparing the ex¬
penditures under the Roosevelt ad¬
ministrations in Alabama, Mississip¬
pi, and Arkansas, and the internal
revenue tax collections in those
states, with the expenditures and
internal revenue collections in Mas¬
sachusetts, commenting “and that is
one reason your factories up here
in New England are idle while new
factories that compete with you are
being built in Mississippi, Arkansas
and Alabama.”

Not one word of apology was
spoken by Mr. Willkie for the action
of his party in creating “Economic
Problem Number One” (as the
South has been labeled from time to
time), Governor Dixon pointed out
—“Not one word of sympathy to us
in our fight to remove the unfair
freight rate differential—not one
word in apology for the burdens of
the tariff. No sympathy for that
poverty of a great section respon¬
sible for those low tax collections,
no recognition of the fact that the
wealth of New England came from
the unfair burdens which impover¬
ished us throughout the years;
nothing — save the direct intima¬
tion that we of the South have, in
his election, no future to look for¬
ward to save a continuation of our
chains."

Conceding that in the heat of a
political campaign much is said that
is not. fully thought out and that
does not represent a maturity of
ideas, the Governor stated: “It may
be that Mr. Willkie is not familiar
with these things, is not familiar
with the background, is not fam¬
iliar with the fact that the justice
of our claims has received national
recognition—that there is no longer
doubt in the minds of our people
that a nation cannot prosper half
rich and half poor, that much of
the help we are receiving comes
from fair-minded people of the
North and East.

“If the attack on us was with
knowledge of the facts, then it was
unfair. If it was without knowledge
of the facts, then this is no time
for those of us whose lives are
bound up with) the welfare of these
Southern States to undertake the
basic education of anyone in our af¬
fairs. To the danger caused by our
foreign affairs—of changing horses
in the midst of a stream—of chang¬
ing leaders in the midst of a storm,
is added for us the danger of the
election of one who would seek to
perpetuate impossible burdens on
our people.”

Opening his address with the re¬
minder that the governors of the
respective states were made re¬
sponsible for setting up the mach¬
inery to carry the provisions of the
Selective Service Act into opera¬
tion, Governor Dixon said that this
responsibility, with his other duties,
as the state’s chief executive, had
left him and others in his position,
no time “to work at or think of
politics.” Fortunately, he added,
since Alabama is not a doubtful
state, there has been no necessity
for him to do so, nor is there any
necessity now. “But it seemed ad¬
visable,” he continued, “for those
of us who have been constituted
the heads of the Democratic Party
in Alabama, to make clear that the
organization and the party are in¬
tact and functioning as they for
long years have been, and for long
years will be. Alabama is a Demo¬
cratic state by inheritance, and to¬
day by choice”—and he quoted from
the history of the South as a re-

minder of why this is so.

“Through Reconstruction and fol¬
lowing it down the years,” Gov¬
ernor Dixon stated, “have come a
long chain of events which today
have made the South the so-called
economic problem of the nation.
Why an economic problem? Because
of its poverty—compared with those
more fortunate sections of which we
know. Because many of its people
do not have enough to eat, enough
to wear, enough on which to main¬
tain more than a bare existence.”

Propounding the questions
“Whence came this condition in a
land endowed by God with tremen¬
dous natural resources, with a ho¬
mogenous people, with the longest
growing season on earth — with a
wealth of navigable rivers—with all
the elements that go to make up a
garden spot on earth?” and “Why
should our wealth be so little that
our public health services are half-
starved, our schools unable to re¬
ceive adequate support, our pay¬
ments for relief be limited far be¬
low the national average, our gov¬
ernmental services to our people
performed only in half measure
when performed at all?” the Gov¬
ernor asked.

“In my opinion because of a de¬
liberately conceived and executed
policy, put into effect by that party
which in the day of its greatest
success gave us reconstruction, and
which since that time has been ded¬
icated to the maintenance of the
system which created of this South
of ours a colonial empire—the sole
function of which has been to en¬
rich the industrial East.” Citing the
freight rate discrimination against
the South and its effect, the Go-
ernor stated, “Many another dis¬
crimination against us, not nearly
as important but effective never¬
theless, 'could be cited,” the total
effect of which has been “to cement
further solidarity throughout the
years.”

“The Republican Party,” the Gov- ‘
ernor said, “is the party which
throughout the years has been the
determined, if not avowed enemy of
the South”—the party “which can¬
not help but take the credit for the
impoverishment of our people.”

That's one of the reasons why the
Brewing Industry is co-operating with
the legal authorities to eliminate ALL
black sheep from Beer Retailing.

C OMPARATIVELY few Ala¬
bama retail beer dealers
disobey the law or operate unde¬
sirable outlets. TJBut the beer
industry wants beer sold in Ala¬
bama only under clean, whole¬
some conditions in orderly op¬
erated places —the way the great
majority of dealers now operate.

Our goal is to eliminate ALL ob¬

Alabama’s aggressive ABC Board,
our “clean up or close up” cam¬

public can help by patronizing

THE MONTEVALLO TIMES, MONTEVAELO, ALABAMA

A. B. BAXLEY

Candidate for Probate Judge of
Shelby County, Alabama

To the Voters of Shelby County:

I make this final appeal to the
voters, asking their careful and
prayerful consideration, for Probate
Judge of Shelby County in the elec¬
tion Tuesday, November 5, 1940.

X have made a conscientious ef¬
fort to see as many voters of the
County as I possibly could. Yet, I
know, there are many good Demo¬
crats and Republicans that X have
not met, but it was not intentional
and I want your friendship whether
I get your vote or not.

I entered this campaign in an
honest endeavor to conduct a clean
campaign. This I have done. I wish
to thank all who have helped—
whether Democrats or Republicans
—to make this campaign on a high
plane and sincerely hope and trust
that it will continue this way right
on to the. end, November 5. I have
not tried to induce any man or wo¬
man to vote against his or her sin¬
cere convictions. I do insist, how¬
ever, that each and every voter
consider well before casting your
ballot on election day.

The world is in a great turmoil.
Our nation, state and county is in
a grave condition. This election will
make history. It will be a great
epoch in the life of the American
people. Think of the future! Shall
the middle-age man have another
opportunity or shall he be tied
down to relief and WPA jobs the
balance of his life? Our loved ones
at home must abide by the result
of this election.

As a candidate for Probate Judge
of Shelby County, nominated by the
Republicans and endorsed by many
good Democrats, I wish to say that

Governor Favors
Freeing Toll Bridge

UNDERWOOD M. S. C. S. MEETS

Montgomery, Ala. — Governor
Prank M. Dixon today endorsed the
proposal to abolish the toll on the
O’Neal Bridge between Florence and
Sheffield, declaring that toll
bridges are “out of place in the
modem highway system we are cre¬
ating in Alabama.” Alabama voters
will pass on the proposal to free
the bridge when they go to the
polls on November 5.

“The toll bridge across the Ten¬
nessee River is not only a nuisance
but the sole remaining blot on our
system of good roads,” Gov. Dixon
said. “Alabama is being penalized
because we cannot advertise, as
other states do, that we are en¬
tirely free of toll bridges. Voters
can correct this matter by voting
‘Yes’ to Amendment No. 1 when
they go to the polls on November
5.”

The governor pointed out that
the Muscle Shoals area not only
is potentially an important entry
point for tourists coming to Ala¬
bama but that the section is rap¬
idly gaining in importance in the
national defense program.

Endorsement by Gov. Dixon of
the plan to free the bridge followed
by a few days similar action by the
Alabama State Chamber of Com¬
merce, which stressed the value of
advertising toll-free highways in
the campaign to attract more tour¬
ists to Alabama.

State Highway Department offi¬
cials have shown that a average of
$148,000 in interest charges will be
effected by converting indebtedness
on the bridge to state bridge bonds
which could be financed at little
more than half the present rate.

The Women’s Society of Christian
Service of Underwood met at the
home of Mrs. Frank Frost Wednes¬
day afternoon, October 23. Mrs. W.
T. Evans presided at the brief busi¬
ness session. She also gave an in¬
teresting report of the conference
attended in Birmingham.

Mrs. Frank Frost had charge of
the program, assisted by Mrs. B. B.
Peete and Lucille Daviston. The
program subject was “Sharing Pos¬
sessions.”

Following the program delightful
refreshments were served to the
members and two visitors, Mrs. O.
V. Farr and Mrs. Ed Atchison.

I was born and reared on a farm
at Marble Valley, Coosa County,
Ala. Attended the public schools
there, then entered Abilene (Texas)
Christian College and was there for
three years, finishing at Nashville
Bible School (now David Lipscomb
College) in 1911. I taught school in
the public schools of Alabama. I
worked with, and lectured for a
farm organization for five years. I
came to Calera in 1924 and have
been engaged in the real estate
business since that time. I have
served, as best I could, the Town
of Calera as Mayor for eight years.
My record as Mayor and as a pub¬
lic spirited man stands for itself.

I am the first and only candi¬
date for Probate Judge, so far as
I know, to come out in the open
for the old-age pension — offering
help and aid to, the same. I believe
the probate office belongs to the
people and as such, every individual
citizen, regardless of his vocation in
life, should be made to feel at home
when he has business in the probate
office.

If I am elected, the decision of
my court will be made by the court
and not by the lawyers. In fact,
the office will be conducted in an
honest, upright, clean and con¬
scientious way.

And now, whether you be Demo¬
crat or Republican, vote a “straight”
or “split” ticket, vote your convic¬
tions. Go to the polls November 5
and vote. I am a poor man and any
help you give me now will not be
forgotten.

Thanking you in advance for your
kind consideration, I am
Humbly yours,

A. B. BAXLEY.
